The patchset
	[patch 0/4] hw watchpoints across fork() + multi-inf

which I am rebasing now on top of HEAD which already reimplements its part by
	commit 96fd921972966166fda0eb300bfa4e5479f3b31f

The patch in Fedora since 2007 is solving this by having per-inferior copy of

I miss some testcases in your patch.

I can rebase what remains from the patchset on this patch.
