Subject[PATCH 09/12] hw-breakpoints: cleanup HW Breakpoint registers before kexec
Date
From: K.Prasad <prasad@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This patch disables Hardware breakpoints before doing a 'kexec' on the machine
so that the cpu doesn't keep debug registers values which would be out of
sync for the new image.
