Stupid question... So X86_FEATURE_BPEXT only works for r/w? I mean, it
doesn't allow to specify the mask for an execute breakpoint?

Otherwise the code above should be probably updated, say,

	if (!len) {
		len = attr.bp_type == HW_BREAKPOINT_X ?
			sizeof(long) : HW_BREAKPOINT_LEN_4;
	}
	attr.bp_len = len;

Oleg.
