There's currently no support for hardware breakpoints in the simulator
target, instead only software breakpoints are supported where GDB
takes responsibility for reading and backing up the old memory
contents before writing in a software breakpoint instruction.
This doesn't mean that hardware breakpoint support couldn't be added.
Thanks,
Andrew
