Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/6] HWBP: Add modify_wide_hw_breakpoint_local() API
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@...nel.org>
Add modify_wide_hw_breakpoint_local() arch-wide interface which allows
hwbp users to update watch address on-line. This is available if the
arch supports CONFIG_HAVE_REINSTALL_HW_BREAKPOINT.
Note that this can not change the type because it does not release and
reserve the hwbp slot based on type.
