This moves the last of the iteration over breakpoints into
the bpt_helper.c file. This also allows us to make several
breakpoint functions static.

These include page table walks, SVM accesses and SMM state save accesses.

Backports commit b216aa6c0fcbaa8ff4128969c14594896a5485a4 from qemu
According to my reading of the Intel documentation, the SYSRET instruction
is supposed to force the RPL bits of the %ss register to 3 when returning
to user mode. The actual sequence is:
SS.Selector <-- (IA32_STAR[63:48]+8) OR 3; (* RPL forced to 3 *)
However, the code in helper_sysret() leaves them at 0 (in other words, the "OR
3" part of the above sequence is missing). It does set the privilege level
bits of %cs correctly though.
This has caused me trouble with some of my VxWorks development: code that runs
okay on real hardware will crash on QEMU, unless I apply the patch below.
Backports commit ac57622985220de064059971f9ccb00905e9bd04 from qemu
helper_sysenter in qemu/target-i386/seg_helper.c didn't check properly if a call interrupt callback was registred.
It has been fixed by copying the helper_syscall behavior.
