[RFA] Implement support for PowerPC BookE masked watchpoints


Hi,

I'm almost done with the series adding suport for PowerPC BookE
features... There's only this patch adding masked watchpoints, and
another one adding ranged hardware breakpoints (to be posted later). So
please bear with me a little longer. :-)

The documentation part of the patch was already reviewed and approved.
No regressions on ppc-linux, ppc64-linux or i386-linux. Ok to commit?

To ease review, here are the changes on parsing the command line in
watch_command_1, with a diff ignoring whitespace changes:

+watch -location EXPRESSION
+watch -l EXPRESSION
+  The "watch" command now accepts an optional "-location" argument.
