Here we hook up the watch exception handler so that it sends SIGTRAP when
the hardware watch registers are triggered.

Here we hook up the scheduler. Whenever we switch to a new process,
we check to see if the watch registers should be installed, and do it
if needed.

This is the final part of the watch register patch. Here we hook up
ptrace so that the user space debugger (gdb), can set and read the
registers.

I'd like to add a feature request, understanding fully that the response may very
well be, "interesting idea, now show us a patch"--can we have an interface that
would allow kernel-space allocation of watchpoint registers?
The rationale is that we have found it quite useful to have kernel and driver
code set watchpoints for debugging purposes. I would not expect that kernel space
code could grab watchpoint registers already in use by ptrace, and that ptrace
would be free to allocate all watchpoint registers not in use for kernel space
purposes, i.e. there would be no watchpoint registers permanently allocated for
kernel space usage.

The current patch has an artificial limit of 4 registers that it would use.
I think adding this feature would be possible, but would rather make it
part of a follow-on patch.
You would limit the number of registers available to ptrace and then
handle the others specially in the do_watch handler.
