Yea, I'm not too happy with the naming in general for hvm/event, it all
should be renamed to be clear that it's part of the monitor subsystem. I
think I'll turn this into a 2-patch series, where I rename the existing
stuff from hvm/event to hvm/monitor then change the name of this function
from hvm_monitor_breakpoint to hvm_monitor_debug.
