    x86/pv: Correct the auditing of guest breakpoint addresses
    
    The use of access_ok() is buggy, because it permits access to the compat
    translation area.  64bit PV guests don't use the XLAT area, but on AMD
    hardware, the DBEXT feature allows a breakpoint to match up to a 4G aligned
    region, allowing the breakpoint to reach outside of the XLAT area.
    
    Prior to c/s cda16c1bb223 ("x86: mirror compat argument translation area for
    32-bit PV"), the live GDT was within 4G of the XLAT area.
    
    All together, this allowed a malicious 64bit PV guest on AMD hardware to 
place
    a breakpoint over the live GDT, and trigger a #DB livelock (CVE-2015-8104).
    
    Introduce breakpoint_addr_ok() and explain why __addr_ok() happens to be an
    appropriate check in this case.
    
    For Xen 4.14 and later, this is a latent bug because the XLAT area has moved
    to be on its own with nothing interesting adjacent.  For Xen 4.13 and older 
on
    AMD hardware, this fixes a PV-trigger-able DoS.
    
    This is part of XSA-444 / CVE-2023-34328.
    
    Fixes: 65e355490817 ("x86/PV: support data breakpoint extension registers")

+ * Architecturally, %dr{0..3} can have any arbitrary value.  However, Xen
+ * can't allow the guest to breakpoint the Xen address range, so we limit the
+ * guest to the lower canonical half, or above the Xen range in the higher
+ * canonical half.
+ *
+ * Breakpoint lengths are specified to mask the low order address bits,
+ * meaning all breakpoints are naturally aligned.  With %dr7, the widest
+ * breakpoint is 8 bytes.  With DBEXT, the widest breakpoint is 4G.  Both of
+ * the Xen boundaries have >4G alignment.
+ *
+ * In principle we should account for HYPERVISOR_COMPAT_VIRT_START(d), but
+ * 64bit Xen has never enforced this for compat guests, and there's no problem
+ * (to Xen) if the guest breakpoints it's alias of the M2P.  Skipping this
+ * aspect simplifies the logic, and causes us not to reject a migrating guest
+ * which operated fine on prior versions of Xen.
