[Patch 02/11] x86 architecture implementation of HardwareBreakpoint interfaces

[K.Prasad]

This patch introduces two new files named hw_breakpoint.[ch] inside x86 specific
directories. They contain functions which help validate and serve requests for 
using Hardware Breakpoint registers on x86 processors.
