v4: https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2019-September/197621.html

v4->v5:
 - patch 1,2,3/7: Split v4 patch1 into three differnet patches.
   * 1st patch to replace hardcoded watchpoint length with macros
   * 2nd patch that fixes the unaligned watchpoint issue
   * 3rd patch that fixes ptrace code that mucks around address/len
 - patch 3/7: v4 patch1 was creating a regression in watchpoint length
   calculation in ptrace code. Fixed that.
 - patch 7/7: Disabled MODE_RANGE and 512 byte testcases for 8xx. (Build
   tested only)
 - patch 7/7: Unaligned watchpoints are not supported with DABR. Test
   unaligned watchpoint only when DAWR is present.
