/* Support for hardware watchpoints and breakpoints using the i386
   debug registers.

   This provides several functions for inserting and removing
   hardware-assisted breakpoints and watchpoints, testing if one or
   more of the watchpoints triggered and at what address, checking
   whether a given region can be watched, etc.

   In addition, each target should provide several low-level functions
   regrouped into i386_dr_low_type struct below.  These functions
   that will be called to insert watchpoints and hardware breakpoints
   into the inferior, remove them, and check their status.  These
   functions are:

      set_control              -- set the debug control (DR7)
				  register to a given value for all LWPs

      set_addr                 -- put an address into one debug
				  register for all LWPs

      reset_addr               -- reset the address stored in
				  one debug register for all LWPs

      get_status               -- return the value of the debug
				  status (DR6) register for current LWP

      unset_status             -- unset the specified bits of the debug
				  status (DR6) register for all LWPs

   Additionally, the native file should set the debug_register_length
   field to 4 or 8 depending on the number of bytes used for
   deubg registers.  */
