Watchpoint match range is always doubleword(8 bytes) aligned on
powerpc. If the given range is crossing doubleword boundary, we need
to increase the length such that next doubleword also get
covered. Ex,
address len = 6 bytes
|=========.
|------------v--|------v--------|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
|---------------|---------------|
<---8 bytes--->
In such case, current code configures hw as:
start_addr = address & ~HW_BREAKPOINT_ALIGN
len = 8 bytes
And thus read/write in last 4 bytes of the given range is ignored.
Fix this by including next doubleword in the length.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
