Subject: [PATCH 5/5] x86/hw-breakpoints: Remove the name field
Date: Sat, 27 Feb 2010 19:25:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1267295133-6320-6-git-send-regression-fweisbec@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1267295133-6320-1-git-send-regression-fweisbec@gmail.com>

Remove the name field from the arch_hw_breakpoint. We never deal
with target symbols in the arch level, neither do we need to ever
store it. It's a legacy for the previous version of the x86
breakpoint backend.

Let's remove it.
