Subject: Re: [RFC Patch 8/9] Modify Ptrace to use wrapper routines to access
	breakpoint registers

Just make the new functions in hw_breakpoint code use the same old ptrace_*
names.  Those are the proper names for this.  It really is just compatibility
for the old ptrace interface, not any other reason for "thread" debugregs.
Then this patch need do nothing but remove the static ptrace.c functions.


Thanks,
Roland
