As I've said before, I'm not at all keen on this approach. We're changing
a UAPI header to include magic numbers that may or may not conflict with
the architecture in future in order to fix a problem that doesn't exist
outside of a contrived test case.
I'd much rather place a restriction on .wakeup_events of the hw_breakpoint
and simply refuse to initialise things in a way that leads to problems down
the line. Ptrace and GDB are the primary users of this interface and I'm not
willing to risk breaking them with these sorts of invasive changes.
