This is a NOP unless the underlying core exposes two new methods, and
neither of the two cores using this (ARM11xx, Cortex-A8) do so yet.
This patch only updates those cores so they pass a flag saying whether
or not to update breakpoint and watchpoint status before resuming; and
removing some now-needless anti-segfault code from ARM11. Cortex-A8
didn't have that code ... yes, it segfaulted when setting watchpoints.
NOTE: this uses a slightly different strategy for setting/clearing
breakpoints than the ARM7/ARM9/etc code uses. It leaves them alone
unless it's *got* to change something, to speed halt/resume cycles
(including single stepping).
ALSO NOTE: this under-delivers for Cortex-A8, where regions with size
up to 2 GBytes can be watched ... it handles watchpoints which ARM11 can
also handle (size 1/2/4 bytes). Should get fixed later.

Instead of having separate ARM11 and Cortex-A8 implementations of
this code, have one shared implementation which just builds on the
existing "run instruction via R0" support.
This enables followup patches to remove that now-unused code from
those two drivers. (Patches to move the "mrc" and "mcr" code into
"struct arm" are due too ... MIPS and other cores do not support
those ARM-specific concepts.)

This implements the DPM interface for Cortex-A8 cores. It
also adds a synchronization operation to the DPM framework,
which is needed by the Cortex-A8 after CPSR writes.

First version of interface for sharing code between ARMv6 and ARMv7a
debug modules ... now the architecture includes debug support. (Not
the same as for the trimmed-down v7m or v6m though!) This is a first
version of an interface that will let the ARM11 and Cortex-A8 support
share code, features, and bugfixes. Based on existing code from both
of those cores.
The ARM v7-AR architecture specification calls this commonality the
"Debug Programmer's Model (DPM)", which seemed to be an appropriate
acronym -- a TLA even! -- for use in our code. Made it so. :)
The initial scope of this just supports register access, and is geared
towards supporting top level "struct arm" mechanisms. Later, things
like breakpoint and watchpoint support should be included.
