This patch register the command "maint set show-debug-regs on/off"
and make it settable by the user. If show-debug-regs is enabled,
the debug register values are shown when GDB inserts or removes a
hardware breakpoint or watchpoint. This is helpful for the use and
development of hardware watchpoints.
With this patch, the effect of this maintenance command as follows:
lihui@bogon:~$ cat test.c
int a = 0;
int main()
{
a = 1;
return 0;
}
lihui@bogon:~$ gcc -g test.c -o test
lihui@bogon:~$ gdb test
...
