This is a continuation of the discussion that we had when the initial debug support went in. At the time Christian and you thought that it would be ideal if
domu_debug were a domain-build / run-time option, as opposed to a xen
compile-time option. For the sake of expediency I didn't do it at the time. This
patch was intended to rectify that.

Having it perpetually as a compile-time option seems like making a ptrace a
compile-time option in Linux that defaulted to off.

If we deal with the int3 demux problem then I'm happy to make 'domu_debug' always on. Making it a per-domain config build-time option is not the tasteful solution imo.
