Currently a SIGTRAP signal can denote any one of below reasons.
	- Breakpoint hit
	- H/W debug register hit
	- Single step
	- SIGTRAP signal sent through kill() or rasie()

Architectures like powerpc/parisc provides infrastructure to demultiplex
SIGTRAP signal by passing down the information for receiving SIGTRAP through
si_code of siginfot_t structure. Here is an attempt is generalise this 
infrastructure by extending it to x86 and x86_64 archs.

no fundamental objections - assuming existing x86 apps have not grown an 
ABI dependency on the existing send_sigtrap() semantics. (Debuggers and 
JITs would be a candidate for such dependencies.)

a small implementational detail, this bit:

should be pushed into [a sufficiently extended] send_sigtrap() instead.

and this bit:

> +	if (condition & DR_STEP)
> +		info.si_code = TRAP_TRACE;

should be separated into a helper function as well i guess.

Roland, any objections to the core idea (or to the implementation)?
