It was a copy-paste from existing do_enable_breakpoint() (line 7799).
But it got now removed according to your advice as:
(1) The original code uses `i' and `mem_cnt' initialization in the declaration
while my code initializes them explicitely which suppresses the `unused
variable' GCC warning on gcc-4.3.
(2) GDB already uses explicit `-Wno-unused' by default and it already has
unused variables scattered around which is a scope of different patches.

^<-also
as according to my test on ppc64 RHEL-4 gdb-6.3+kernel (both not supporting
ppc hw watchpoints) dejagnu-1.4.4 did not have `no_hardware_watchpoints' set.

Fix hw watchpoints created before the inferior was started.
* breakpoint.c (update_watchpoint): Convert the bp_watchpoint and
bp_hardware_watchpoint types according to the current runtime state.
