update_watchpoint() is documented thusly:

        /* Assuming that B is a hardware watchpoint:
           - Reparse watchpoint expression, is REPARSE is non-zero
           - Evaluate expression and store the result in B->val
           - Update the list of values that must be watched in B->loc.

           If the watchpoint is disabled, do nothing.  If this is
           local watchpoint that is out of scope, delete it.  */
        static void
        update_watchpoint (struct breakpoint *b, int reparse)

but it appears to be actually called from breakpoint_re_set_one for the
software watchpoint, too. I suspect it's a bug -- for software watchpoint
we don't have to get a list of values to watch, which update_watchpoint()
does more or less unconditionally. But this bug might be benign -- we probably
never actually insert the computed locations.

FWIW, this sounds reasonable and safe to me.
