[Patch 5/6] Scheduler support for HARDWARE_WATCHPOINTS.

[David Daney]

This is the meat of the patch.  Here we install the watch register values when we
schedule a new thread.

The implemtation of __restore_watch() is in asm/watch.h.  In the case where there
are no watch registers to install (the normal case) the overhead is 5 machine
instructions with gcc-3.4.3.
