ARM: 6357/1: hw-breakpoint: add new ptrace requests for hw-breakpoint interaction
For debuggers to take advantage of the hw-breakpoint framework in the kernel,
it is necessary to expose the API calls via a ptrace interface.
This patch exposes the hardware breakpoints framework as a collection of
virtual registers, accesible using PTRACE_SETHBPREGS and PTRACE_GETHBPREGS
requests. The breakpoints are stored in the debug_info struct of the running
thread.
