hw-breakpoints: x86 architecture implementation of Hardware Breakpoint interfaces

This patch introduces the arch-specific implementation of the generic
hardware breakpoints in kernel/hw_breakpoint.c inside x86 specific directories.
It contains functions which help to validate and serve requests using
Hardware Breakpoint registers on x86 processors.
