Patch looks fine to me. Also tested it in power9 box

Test result without this patch changes :
 23: Watchpoint  :
 23.1: Read Only Watchpoint    : FAILED!
 23.2: Write Only Watchpoint   : FAILED!
 23.3: Read / Write Watchpoint : FAILED!
 23.4: Modify Watchpoint       : FAILED!


Test result with patch changes:
 23: Watchpoint  :
 23.1: Read Only Watchpoint    : Skip (missing hardware support)
 23.2: Write Only Watchpoint   : Skip (missing hardware support)
 23.3: Read / Write Watchpoint : Skip (missing hardware support)
 23.4: Modify Watchpoint       : Skip (missing hardware support)
