This patch adds the one_reg interface to get the special instruction
to be used for setting software breakpoint from userspace.

We're using ehpriv even for PR-mode KVM (e.g. e500v2)?

If it's a reserved instruction, that should work. Since we need to use a single instruction to replace the debugged one with, any reserved opcode should be as good as any other, right?

Right, that has been the idea here.

This one should be "trap", so TO needs to be 31. The instruction as it's here is a nop if I read the spec correctly.

Yes I missed this.
BTW rather than setting TO = 31, what if we set TO = 2 as RA and RB is same here.

Well, the unconditional "trap" instruction is simply defined as TO = 31, so I'd stick to that :)
