Description Marc Khouzam

GDB Fast Tracepoints can only be put on instructions of 5-bytes or longer for 64 bit machines and 4-byte or longer for 32bit machine.  This implies that for our unit tests, we have to be careful to properly pick 4-byte or 5-byte instructions for fast tracepoints.

This was not done carefully by the test where tracepoints were set and random lines and we are getting failures because of it.

To fix this we can write the test program carefully and set tracepoints at instructions for which we know the size.

Committed to master after seeing the relevant tests pass on HIPP.
