Ok, after adding some debug output, it looks like this (newlines mine):

which basically shows how this thread adds 4 breakpoints and hits the
warn on on the 5th.

Now, that code I've seen only once or twice so I don't have a very smart
guess but it looks to me like arch_install_hw_breakpoint() or something
scheduling the events above that, should check HBP_NUM and not schedule
more than 4 hw breakpoints. Or..?

Frederic, I know you know this code... :-)
