This might mean that, in practice, we will need to have some GDB code
to produce an illusion of thread-specific watchpoints on the x86.
That is, the hardware will stop the inferior whenever _any_ thread
hits the watchtpoint, and then GDB will take control, and figure out
whether it needs to stop or continue.
