CM Breakpoints in Translated Code 

The following discussion assumes that the current Debug mode is CM
(prompt is:  %cmdebug > ).

When a CM breakpoint is set at a CM address of a segment that has been
translated, Debug actually sets two breakpoints simultaneously:

   1.  A CM breakpoint at the specified CM address in the emulated object
       code, in case the code runs emulated.

   2.  An NM breakpoint at CMTONMNODE (CM address), that is, at the
       closest corresponding previous node in the NM translated code.

For example, with the following command, the two breakpoints marked as
[1] are set simultaneously:

     %cmdebug > B 12.4

Note that multiple CM address breakpoints may map to the same NM previous
node breakpoint.  For example:

     %cmdebug > B PROC+10 

brkpt # 2 maps to NM $1c.34d4

     %cmdebug > BPROC+12 

brkpt # 3 maps to NM $1c.34d4 also

Only one NM breakpoint is needed at $1c.34d4.
