All,

Please find attached a patch which adds support for hardware breakpoints
and watchpoints to ARM native Linux targets in gdb.

To use the patch you need the Linux Kernel tree exposed here:
http://repo.or.cz/w/linux-2.6/linux-wd.git/shortlog/refs/heads/hw-breakpoint
These kernel patches will soon be submitted to the ARM Linux Kernel
Mailing List which is archived here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-July/thread.html

I am not looking for approval for the GDB patch set until the kernel
side has been approved.  However, if anyone has any comments on the
patch I would be most grateful.

Thanks,

Matt
