+
+A memory breakpoint is implemented by replacing the instruction at
+@var{addr} with a software breakpoint or trap instruction.  The
+@code{length} is used by targets that indicates the size of the
+breakpoint (in bytes) that should be inserted (e.g., the @sc{arm} and
+@sc{mips} can insert either a 2 or 4 byte breakpoint).
+
+@emph{Implementation note: It is possible for a target to copy or move
+code that contains memory breakpoints (e.g., when implementing
+overlays).  The behavior of this packet, in the presence of such a
+target, is not defined.}

+A hardware breakpoint is implemented using a mechanism that is not
