As I wrote in my other message, that's a pretty serious bug.

Let's go ahead.  The patch is mostly OK, but I have a last question or
two...

If the breakpoint length is two, why are you reading and testing four
bytes?

Please make new functions static where possible, which is pretty much
everywhere.

And use prototypes - that's not a prototype, because of the missing
(void).

Does the regset cover everything that that regmap covers, including
debug registers?  The current support for both PEEKUSER and regsets is
purely for compatibility; it doesn't support getting some registers
from one and some from another.  So if all crisv32 kernels support
PTRACE_GETREGS, your regmap is never getting used.

I have code around here somewhere to support targets that need both,
but it's gross.
