Subject[RFC][PATCH 3/5] hw-breakpoints: Make user breakpoints API truly generic
Date
Following the API changes on the kernel breakpoints API,
the user breakpoints registration now follows the same pattern.

The target, access length and type and now given as parameters
in the registration helpers to avoid per arch code in generic code.

However, to keep registering or modifying easily a user breakpoint
from arch code with a prefilled arch breakpoint structure, we provide
two new helpers:

- register_user_hw_breakpoint_filled(tsk, bp)
- modify_user_hw_breakpoint_filled(tsk, bp)
