Hi James,

Thanks a lot for looking into it.

So, when you say that it reduce to ~10 times with my patches, did you use all 
patches ie 1-4 or only 1-3. 1-3 is just the preparation and 4 was my actual 
solution. I had seen only once (which is expected) with all(1-4) of my 
patches. Please let me know if I missed any observation.

In my understanding, you have used 1-3 of mine and then replaced my 4th patch 
with your patches in this series.If I understood correctly then, now we can 
handle IRQ between breakpoint and step handler, I think thats good. Only 
concern seems that how does this approach behave when we put a hardware 
breakpoint on a ISR called between breakpoint and step exception.
