I don't think it's possible, based on many hours of staring at the various implementations of hw breakpoints. The differences are not always major, but IMHO significant enough to render any attempt to unify them be a huge effort with a very small benefit. Even IA64 is sufficiently different from IA32 so as to prevent any reasonable attempt to unify the code which handles watchpoints.
