I'm slightly uneasy about this, mainly because I've not spent much time looking at the AArch32 side of ARMv8 debug and I know that a fair amount has changed since 7.1. Furthermore, the arch/arm/ kernel hasn't grown any v8 features yet and it's not clear whether that's a road down which people wish to take it.
Anyway, assuming this works, can you please update debug_exception_updates_fsr to return true for ARMv8 cores?
Will
