Subject: [PATCH] arm64: compat: Allow single-byte watchpoints on all addresses
Commit d968d2b801d8 ("ARM: 7497/1: hw_breakpoint: allow single-byte
watchpoints on all addresses") changed the validation requirements for
hardware watchpoints on arch/arm/. Update our compat layer to implement
the same relaxation.
