xscale: some wp detail added to user manual 

Hi everyone (again),

Watchpoints on xscale are quirky, so I thought a little explanation in the
user's manual was warranted.

Comments gratefully received.

Last one, Øyvind :-)

Thanks,
Mike

XScale has resources to support two hardware breakpoints and two
watchpoints. However, the following restrictions on watchpoint
functionality apply: (1) the value and mask arguments to the @code{wp}
command are not supported, (2) the watchpoint length must be a
power of two and not less than four, and can not be greater than the
watchpoint address, and (3) a watchpoint with a length greater than
four consumes all the watchpoint hardware resources. This means that
at any one time, you can have enabled either two watchpoints with a
length of four, or one watchpoint with a length greater than four.
