Re: [PATCH v6 2/8] powerpc/watchpoint: Fix handling of vector instructions

Vector load/store instructions are special because they are always
aligned. Thus unaligned EA needs to be aligned down before comparing
it with watch ranges. Otherwise we might consider valid event as
invalid.

watchpoint")
