It looks familiar to one problem with HW breakpoints "Kconfig select"
issue Frederic fixed once not that long ago, if I recall correctly.

So due to select we choose to compile hw_nmi.c, but CONFIG_LOCAL_APIC
(or APIC on UP) is turned off. So apic.c is not compiled. And at stage
of linking we get unresolved symbol.

I don't remember the details how Frederic fixed HW breakpoints "select"
issue, CC'ed :) But you may google to find it out.
