[PATCH v3] ARM: hw_breakpoint: Add ARMv8 support

From: Christopher Covington
Date: Tue Jan 28 2014 - 13:52:07 EST


Add the trivial support necessary to get hardware breakpoints
working for GDB on ARMv8 simulators running in AArch32 mode.

v3: assume for now that ARMv9 and later will update FSR

v2: modify debug_exception_updates_fsr
