Uh, for a little while I thought it seemed too easy but decided to
continue nevertheless

Clearly, watchpoint group validation was missing from my tests :(

Yeah, it was supposed to be simple and stupid version until I'd have time
to make the allocation per node. But the more I think about this, the more
I start to believe that the bitmap solution would be the better option
right away.
I'll take a look at better solution although it might take a while as I'll
probably get other more urgent tasks soon. If you find yourself with too
much free time, feel free to take this task ;)
