It looks to me that your impl_breakpoint is simply a linked list of
addresses we watch and a few flags. So perhaps we shouldn't introduce
two kinds of breakpoints, but instead call that list something
entirely different, like bp_data (for ``breakpoint data'').

I think the direction is correct. Thanks for raising the issue and
for working on it.
Putting on my documentation maintainer's hat, may I suggest that this
project also tries to improve the documentation of our breakpoint
handling in gdbint.texinfo, at least to some degree? IMHO it's a
shame that breakpoints, _the_ most central facility of any debugger,
are documented so poorly.
TIA
