	   * breakpoint.c (can_use_hardware_watchpoint): Call
	   TARGET_REGION_OK_FOR_HW_WATCHPOINT; if it returns zero,
	   return zero immediately.

   I can no longer set hardware watchpoint like

   int foo [20];

   (gdb) watch foo[1];

   on x86. Do you have a patch to get it to work again?

So we don't have to go back and forth on this issue in the future, I'd
like to see somebody contribute some more watchpoint tests to the
testsuite.  Cygnus runs the GDB testsuite on Linux every night, and I
review the results every day, so regressions will be noticed quickly -
but I won't see regressions if a feature isn't being tested...
