He may have had the 32016 in mind.  However, the breakpoint registers are
in the 32082 MMU (as he said) and they haven't been removed from the current
rev M part.  The only support required of the CPU is the NMI trap which is
unlikely to go away.  Therefore the CPU rev is irrelevant to this discussion.
