GUEST_PANICKED events,

recognize.
Currently, only bit 0 is recognized, setting it indicates a guest panic
has happened.
+SYSBUS Interface

+The SYSBUS interface is similar to the ISA interface except that it uses
+MMIO. Pvpanic exposes a address space region 0x09070000--0x09070001 in
+arm virt machine. Currently only the first byte is used.
