I wonder if these defines are necessary - has it any advantage over
just using the literal?

Was removing this line deliberate?

So it'd be something like:
+       return cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_DAWR1) ? HBP_NUM_MAX : 1;
But thinking that there might be more slots added in the future, it
may be better to make the number of slots a variable that is set
during the init and then have this function return that.
