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).
