Subject: [Patch 3/5] PPC64-HWBKPT: Handle concurrent alignment interrupts

From: "K.Prasad" <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 28 May 2010 12:10:17 +0530

An alignment interrupt may intervene between a DSI/hw-breakpoint exception
and the single-step exception. Enable the alignment interrupt (through
modifications to emulate_single_step()) to notify the single-step exception
handler for proper restoration of hw-breakpoints.
