hw-breakpoints: Accept breakpoints on NULL address
Before we had a generic breakpoint API, ptrace was accepting breakpoints on NULL address in x86. The new API refuse them, without given strong reasons. We need to follow the previous behaviour as some userspace apps like Wine need such NULL breakpoints to ensure old emulated software protections are still working. This fixes a 2.6.32 - 2.6.33-x ptrace regression.
