So far, powerpc Book3S code has been written with an assumption of only
one watchpoint. But future power architecture is introducing second
watchpoint register (DAWR). Even though this patchset does not enable
2nd DAWR, it make the infrastructure ready so that enabling 2nd DAWR
should just be a matter of changing count.

Some book3s (e300 family for instance, I think G2 as well) already have a DABR2 in addition to DABR.
Will this series allow to use it as well ?
