Whoever reads comments anyway? :-)

Do we have archs which have a breakpoint instruction which isnt of the
smallest instruction size for that arch. If we do have can we change the
write_opcode/read_opcode while we support that architecture?
Why not put a simple WARN_ON_ONCE() in there that checks the assumption?
Okay, will do.
