Conclusion:
This means, if you know, that your source code will change the MSR[IP] bit and your first SW-BP will take

NOTE: If the target application uses page tables, software breakpoints can only be set to page tables which
are already available. If it is necessary to set breakpoints in pages not yet mapped, only on-chip breakpoints
can be used.
Software breakpoints can be overwritten by the target application, e.g. if a breakpoint is set in an area which
will be loaded by a boot loader. Use on-chip breakpoints in this case.
