Thanks for writing this patch. It mostly looks good
but there are some minor admin/format tweaks we need.

You need to provide a Signed-off-by: line here, or
we can't take this patch, I'm afraid. (We work the same
way as the Linux kernel for this; see
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/SubmittingPatches?id=f6f94e2ab1b33f0082ac22d71f66385a60d8157f#n297
for more details, but basically it says you wrote the code
and are willing to contribute it under our licensing terms.)

It could also use a little more explanation in the commit
message.

FWIW, this is an obscure syscall that dates back to before
the architecture provided an official breakpoint instruction;
apparently it's still used by Steel Bank Common Lisp.

This is the kernel implementation:

The indent on this label isn't quite right; it should
be 4 columns to the left.

Those minor issues aside, the code looks right to me.
