[PATCH 00/15] powerpc/watchpoint: Preparation for more than one watchpoint

So far, powerpc Book3S code has been written with an assumption of only
one watchpoint. But future power architecture is introducing second
watchpoint register (DAWR). Even though this patchset does not enable
2nd DAWR, it make the infrastructure ready so that enabling 2nd DAWR
should just be a matter of changing count.
Existing functionality works fine with the patchset. I've tested it with
perf, ptrace(gdb), xmon. All hw-breakpoint selftests are passing as well.
And I've build tested for 8xx.
Note: kvm or PowerVM geust is not enabled yet.
The series applies fine to powerpc/next plus one more dependency patch:
