I haven't had a change to properly review the series, but this one
definitely caught my eye. My expectations are that BRK is *not*
affected by the OS Lock. The ARMv8 ARM goes as far as saying:

<quote>
Breakpoint Instruction exceptions are enabled regardless of the state
of the OS Lock and the OS Double Lock.
</quote>

as well as:

<quote>
There is no enable control for Breakpoint Instruction exceptions. They
are always enabled, and cannot be masked.
</quote>

I wonder how your test succeeds, though.

Thanks,

	M.
