It is because the qemu you are using does not support hardware breakpoints. The tests will warn, but the kernel will continue to boot and tell you that hw breakpoint support doesn't work on your simulated hardware.
Also, if you plan to use software breakpoints, please make sure to turn off CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA, else they will not work. This is a regression which will is on my list of things to take a look at, as time permits.
