Paul,

I would like to see this get into 2.6.14 until we close on this issue.

Don't export to userspace until we come to a decision on how these commands
are suppose to function for all variants of PowerPC with hardware debug
resources. We additionally need to figure out a way to tell the debugger
how many resources of each type exist.
