hw-breakpoints: sample HW breakpoint over kernel data address

Browse source 
This patch introduces a sample kernel module to demonstrate the use of Hardware
Breakpoint feature. It places a breakpoint over the kernel variable 'pid_max'
to monitor all write operations and emits a function-backtrace when done.
