powerpc: BookE hardware watchpoint support
This patch implements support for HW based watchpoint via the DBSR_DAC (Data Address Compare) facility of the BookE processors. It does so by interfacing with the existing DABR breakpoint code and adding the necessary bits and pieces for the new bits to be properly set or cleared Signed-off-by: Luis Machado <luisgpm@br.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
