It is not possible to use the hw_breakpoint.c API prior to mm_init(),
but it is possible to use hardware breakpoints with the kernel
debugger.

Prior to smp_init() it is possible to simply write to the dr registers
of the boot cpu directly.  This can be used up until the
kgdb_arch_late() is invoked, at which point the standard hw_breakpoint.c
API will get used.
