>Description:
When asked to set a breakpoint on a function, DDB puts an undefined
instruction in place of the first instruction of the function.  This means
that when the function is called, R14_svc gets corrupted, and Bad Things
ensue.

>How-To-Repeat:
db> b ubc_fault
db> c
[ catch breakpoint ]
db> c
[ note panic ]

>Fix:
Workaround is to manually place the breakpoint after the function
prologue, so:

db> b ubc_fault+0t12
db> c
[ catch breakpoint ]
db> c
[ note absence of panic ]

Better would be if DDB could do this automatically, but it currently lacks
suitable hooks.

 Log Message:
 Add a BKPT_ADDR() macro which gives MD code a chance to munge a
 breakpoint address before it's used. Currently a no-op on all but sh5.

 This is useful on sh5, for example, to mask off the instruction
 type encoding in the bottom two address bits, and makes it possible
 to do "db> break $rXX" instead of manually munging the address.
