Hi All,
	Please find the latest set of patches that introduce kernel
interfaces to use Hardware Breakpoint registers and an implementation
for x86 (and x86_64) architecture.

The patches have undergone changes to incorporate the suggestions for
the previous patchset - including removal of support for instruction
breakpoint, and are based off 2.6.28-rc7. The patches have been tested
on x86 architecture along with kprobes, however they're posted as RFC
owing to the many pending tasks (refer
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/7/127 for details).

Thanks,
K.Prasad
