[PATCH v2 15/16] powerpc/watchpoint/xmon: Don't allow breakpoint overwriting
From: Ravi Bangoria
Date: Wed Apr 01 2020 - 02:14:53 EST
Xmon allows overwriting breakpoints because it's supported by only
one dawr. But with multiple dawrs, overwriting becomes ambiguous
or unnecessary complicated. So let's not allow it.
