v5->v6:
 - patch 6/7: mpe reported that the perf-hwbreak.c doesn't compile with older
   gcc:
        perf-hwbreak.c:182:2: error: dereferencing type-punned pointer will
        break strict-aliasing rules [-Werror=strict-aliasing]
            temp16 = *((__u16 *)target);
            ^
   Fixed that.
