 In case you or somebody else is interested and/or working in this area 
now -- I have a patch in my queue that makes these tests be run twice: 
once with hw watchpoints and once with sw watchpoints.  I could merge it 
with your changes and make it jump the queue.  I cannot guarantee it will 
not introduce regressions, but this was the very idea of this change 
actually -- to discover rotting support for sw watchpoints for platforms 
normally using hw ones (it succeeds both ways for my usual MIPS platforms 
though).
