The generic hardware breakpoint interface provides an abstraction of
hardware breakpoints in front of specific arch implementations for both kernel
and user side breakpoints.
This includes execution breakpoints and read/write breakpoints, also known as
"watchpoints".

This patch introduces header files containing constants, structure definitions
and declaration of functions used by the hardware breakpoint core and x86
specific code.
It also introduces an array based storage for the debug-register values in
'struct thread_struct', while modifying all users of debugreg<n> member in the
structure.

[ Impact: add headers for new hardware breakpoint interface ]

+ * struct hw_breakpoint - unified kernel/user-space hardware breakpoint
+ * @triggered: callback invoked after target address access
+ * @info: arch-specific breakpoint info (address, length, and type)
+ *
+ * %hw_breakpoint structures are the kernel's way of representing
+ * hardware breakpoints.  These are data breakpoints
+ * (also known as "watchpoints", triggered on data access), and the breakpoint's
+ * target address can be located in either kernel space or user space.
+ *
+ * The breakpoint's address, length, and type are highly
+ * architecture-specific.  The values are encoded in the @info field; you
+ * specify them when registering the breakpoint.  To examine the encoded
+ * values use hw_breakpoint_get_{kaddress,uaddress,len,type}(), declared
+ * below.
+ *
+ * The address is specified as a regular kernel pointer (for kernel-space
+ * breakponts) or as an %__user pointer (for user-space breakpoints).
+ * With register_user_hw_breakpoint(), the address must refer to a
+ * location in user space.  The breakpoint will be active only while the
+ * requested task is running.  Conversely with
+ * register_kernel_hw_breakpoint(), the address must refer to a location
+ * in kernel space, and the breakpoint will be active on all CPUs
+ * regardless of the current task.
+ *
+ * The length is the breakpoint's extent in bytes, which is subject to
+ * certain limitations.  include/asm/hw_breakpoint.h contains macros
+ * defining the available lengths for a specific architecture.  Note that
+ * the address's alignment must match the length.  The breakpoint will
+ * catch accesses to any byte in the range from address to address +
+ * (length - 1).
+ *
+ * The breakpoint's type indicates the sort of access that will cause it
+ * to trigger.  Possible values may include:
+ *
+ *     %HW_BREAKPOINT_RW (triggered on read or write access),
+ *     %HW_BREAKPOINT_WRITE (triggered on write access), and
+ *     %HW_BREAKPOINT_READ (triggered on read access).
+ *
+ * Appropriate macros are defined in include/asm/hw_breakpoint.h; not all
+ * possibilities are available on all architectures.  Execute breakpoints
+ * must have length equal to the special value %HW_BREAKPOINT_LEN_EXECUTE.
+ *
+ * When a breakpoint gets hit, the @triggered callback is
+ * invoked in_interrupt with a pointer to the %hw_breakpoint structure and the
+ * processor registers.
+ * Data breakpoints occur after the memory access has taken place.
+ * Breakpoints are disabled during execution @triggered, to avoid
+ * recursive traps and allow unhindered access to breakpointed memory.
+ *
+ * This sample code sets a breakpoint on pid_max and registers a callback
+ * function for writes to that variable.  Note that it is not portable
+ * as written, because not all architectures support HW_BREAKPOINT_LEN_4.
