Why try to reuse breakpoint structures?

When setting a new breakpoint, kgdb_set_sw_break searches kdb_break
for an entry that is bp_disabled, but takes care to re-use disabled
entries whose address matches that of the new breakpoint.  What's the
point?  Aren't all disabled entries the same, that is, just free
space?
