2.4.6.  struct target_ops Functions to Handle Breakpoints and Watchpoints

For all targets, GDB can implement breakpoints and write access watchpoints in software, by inserting code in the target. However many targets provide hardware assistance for these functions which is far more efficient, and in addition may implement read access watchpoints.

These functions in struct target_ops provide a mechanism to access such functionality if it is available.
