I am remote debugging a KLD and I want to trace down the point when the
data in a certain memory address is modified. How to do this? Does the
hardware watchpoint work over remote debugging?  If the address is
0xabcd1234, how to use the watch command?

(gdb) watch 0xabcd1234

or

(gdb) watch * 0xabcd1234

Thanks!
