Esteemed kernel hackers,

To follow is my forth pass at MIPS watch register support.

This version has been tested on:

* MIPS 4KEc (mips32) with a single set of watch registers watchhi not
  reporting I, R, and W conditions.

* MIPS 4KEc (mips32r2) with four sets of watch registers.

* R5000 SGI O2 (mips4 64bit) with no watch register support.

The patches are against 2.6.27-rc6

To use the patch you will need a suitably patched version of gdb.  The
patch against the HEAD of gdb's cvs can be found here:

http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2008-09/msg00230.html

The previous version of this patch is here:
http://www.linux-mips.org/cgi-bin/mesg.cgi?a=linux-mips&i=48B71ADD.601%40avtrex.com

The main changes from the previous version are as follows...

* The characteristics of each watch register set are communicated via
  ptrace because according to the mips32 reference, each set can have
  different masks and I, R, W bit support.  Previously only the
  characteristics of the first set were returned.

* The alignment of the structures passed via ptrace are explicitly
  specified as various versions of gcc align 64-bit objects
  differently.

Six patches to follow.

Thanks
David Daney

* Respun against linux-queue.

* Clear the WP bit in cause register on watch exception.
