Ummm, don't you need to add "else info->extraneous_interrupt = false;"
here?  I don't see anywhere that you ever clear it otherwise.

Also, I think you need to do the "if (!info->extraneous_interrupt)"
check around the call to perf_bp_event() later on in
hw_breakpoint_handler() as well as around the call in
single_step_dabr_instruction().
