Isn't it enough to know whether you got the SIGTRAP because of a (any)
hardware watchpoint, or for some other reason (e.g. new thread event)?

*This* information is available on s390, and as of this patch:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2004-05/msg00290.html
it is actually used to prevent bpstat_stop_status to recognize
a watchpoint event unless the kernel says it was a watchpoint ...

Do you have more details about n what situation is this still not
enough?
