  To add to Julian's reply, there's also some info in the thread starting at

  You'd have to write some code to glue the MI gdb/gdb_main.c packet 
handler to the routines in ddb/db_watch.c. (I'm sure this exists 
somewhere out there - certainly did at my previous workplace).

  If you want to take that on, we can do the other piece which is to 
context-switch the debug registers on guest entry/exit.

later,

Peter.
