Bring a first selftest in the relevant directory. This tests several
combinations of breakpoints and watchpoints in x86, as well as icebp traps
and int3 traps. Given the amount of breakpoint regressions we raised
after we merged the generic breakpoint infrastructure, such selftest
became necessary and can still serve today as a basis for new patches that
touch the do_debug() path.Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker

Bring a new kernel selftests directory in tools/testing/selftests. To
add a new selftest, create a subdirectory with the sources and a
makefile that creates a target named "run_test" then add the
subdirectory name to the TARGET var in tools/testing/selftests/Makefile
and tools/testing/selftests/run_tests script.This can help centralizing and maintaining any useful selftest that
developers usually tend to let rust in peace on some random server.Suggested-by: Andrew Morton
