How's this?

Subject: [PATCH] x86_64: Allow breakpoints to emulate call functions

In order to allow breakpoints to emulate call functions, they need to push
the return address onto the stack. But because the breakpoint exception
frame is added to the stack when the breakpoint is hit, there's no room to
add the address onto the stack and return to the address of the emulated
called funtion.

This helper functions are added:

  int3_emulate_jmp(): changes the location of the regs->ip to return there.

 (The next two are only for x86_64)
  int3_emulate_push(): to push the address onto the gap in the stack
  int3_emulate_call(): push the return address and change regs->ip
