I don't think it's possible, based on many hours of staring at the
various implementations of hw breakpoints. The differences are not
always major, but IMHO significant enough to render any attempt to
unify them be a huge effort with a very small benefit.
Even IA64 is sufficiently different from IA32 so as to prevent any
reasonable attempt to unify the code which handles watchpoints.
