We get the below warning if we try to use kexec on P9:
kexec_core: Starting new kernel

This happens since we are trying to clear hw breakpoint on POWER9,
though we don't have CPU_FTR_DAWR enabled. Guard __set_breakpoint()
within hw_breakpoint_disable() with ppc_breakpoint_available() to
address this.
