Yes, modulo the annoying semantics in the two places of the vcpu run
ioctl loop.

Hmm I don't think so. A hbreak should hit (via normal exception path)
before we attempt any emulation. I suspect watchpoints wouldn't hit for
emulation though - that would be trickier to do nicely though as it
would need to be checked for in both kernel and userspace emulation.
