Yeah, I'm a bit leery of "set_board_info gdb,no_hardware_watchpoints"
but it already exists (although not used for that purpose).

I missed something, though:

  if [target_info exists gdb,no_hardware_watchpoints] {
    return 0;
  }

Perhaps there should be an UNSUPPORTED in there before the "return 0":

  unsupported "hardware watchpoints on this target"

Daniel, what do you think?
