HW breakpoint / watchpoint handling was bypassing the
dovetail_fault_{entry,exit} machinery. As a result it could happen that
the inband IRQ mask was touched from the OOB stage.
There is one more problem in the HW bp/wp handling related to
interrupts_enabled(). This one will be fixed in a separate patch.
