hw-breakpoint: Move asm-generic/hw_breakpoint.h to linux/hw_breakpoint.h
We plan to make the breakpoints parameters generic among architectures. For that it's better to move the asm-generic header to a generic linux header. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

- * struct hw_breakpoint - unified kernel/user-space hardware breakpoint
- * @triggered: callback invoked after target address access
- * @info: arch-specific breakpoint info (address, length, and type)
- *
- * %hw_breakpoint structures are the kernel's way of representing
- * hardware breakpoints. These are data breakpoints
- * (also known as "watchpoints", triggered on data access), and the breakpoint's
- * target address can be located in either kernel space or user space.
- *
- * The breakpoint's address, length, and type are highly
- * architecture-specific. The values are encoded in the @info field; you
- * specify them when registering the breakpoint. To examine the encoded
- * values use hw_breakpoint_get_{kaddress,uaddress,len,type}(), declared
- * below.
- *
- * The address is specified as a regular kernel pointer (for kernel-space
- * breakponts) or as an %__user pointer (for user-space breakpoints).
- * With register_user_hw_breakpoint(), the address must refer to a
- * location in user space. The breakpoint will be active only while the
- * requested task is running. Conversely with
- * register_kernel_hw_breakpoint(), the address must refer to a location
- * in kernel space, and the breakpoint will be active on all CPUs
- * regardless of the current task.
- *
- * The length is the breakpoint's extent in bytes, which is subject to
- * certain limitations. include/asm/hw_breakpoint.h contains macros
- * defining the available lengths for a specific architecture. Note that
- * the address's alignment must match the length. The breakpoint will
- * catch accesses to any byte in the range from address to address +
- * (length - 1).
- *
- * The breakpoint's type indicates the sort of access that will cause it
- * to trigger. Possible values may include:
- *
- * %HW_BREAKPOINT_RW (triggered on read or write access),
- * %HW_BREAKPOINT_WRITE (triggered on write access), and
- * %HW_BREAKPOINT_READ (triggered on read access).
- *
- * Appropriate macros are defined in include/asm/hw_breakpoint.h; not all
- * possibilities are available on all architectures. Execute breakpoints
- * must have length equal to the special value %HW_BREAKPOINT_LEN_EXECUTE.
- *
- * When a breakpoint gets hit, the @triggered callback is
- * invoked in_interrupt with a pointer to the %hw_breakpoint structure and the
- * processor registers.
- * Data breakpoints occur after the memory access has taken place.
- * Breakpoints are disabled during execution @triggered, to avoid
- * recursive traps and allow unhindered access to breakpointed memory.
- *
- * This sample code sets a breakpoint on pid_max and registers a callback
- * function for writes to that variable. Note that it is not portable
- * as written, because not all architectures support HW_BREAKPOINT_LEN_4.
