Items we (currently) plan to finish in the ptrace(2) field:
- merge hardware watchpoint (breakpoint) support with HEAD
- verify ppid of core dump generated with PT_DUMPCORE
it must point to the real parent, not tracer
- adapt OpenBSD regress test (regress/sys/ptrace/ptrace.c) for the ATF context

- add support for detecting equivalent events to PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC,
PTRACE_O_TRACECLONE, PTRACE_O_TRACEEXIT from Linux
- exect(3) rething or remove -- maybe PT_TRACE_ME + PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC?
- refactor pthread_dbg(3) to only query private pthread_t data, otherwise it
duplicates ptrace(2) interface and cannot cover all types of threads
and of course: fix as many bugs as possible.
