Subject: [Patch 5/10] Use wrapper routines around debug registers in
	processor related functions


Use wrapper routines around debug registers in processor related functions

From: Alan Stern <stern@...land.harvard.edu>

This patch enables the use of wrapper routines to access the debug/breakpoint
registers.

[K.Prasad: Split-out from the bigger patch and minor changes following
           re-basing]
