hw-breakpoints: Change/Enforce some breakpoints policies
The current policies of breakpoints in x86 and SH are the following:
- task bound breakpoints can only break on userspace addresses
- cpu wide breakpoints can only break on kernel addresses
The former rule prevents ptrace breakpoints to be set to trigger on
kernel addresses, which is good. But as a side effect, we can't
breakpoint on kernel addresses for task bound breakpoints.
The latter rule simply makes no sense, there is no reason why we
can't set breakpoints on userspace while performing cpu bound
profiles.
We want the following new policies:
- task bound breakpoint can set userspace address breakpoints, with
no particular privilege required.
- task bound breakpoints can set kernelspace address breakpoints but
must be privileged to do that.
- cpu bound breakpoints can do what they want as they are privileged
already.
To implement these new policies, this patch checks if we are dealing
with a kernel address breakpoint, if so and if the exclude_kernel
parameter is set, we tell the user that the breakpoint is invalid,
which makes a good generic ptrace protection.
If we don't have exclude_kernel, ensure the user has the right
privileges as kernel breakpoints are quite sensitive (risk of
trap recursion attacks and global performance impacts).

double function declaration]
