Below is the patch that I just committed.  (It is similar to the
original patch, but that patch no longer applied cleanly due to
the various changes that were made as a result of Pedro's feedback
to the multiple sim instance patch.)

	* remote-sim.c (gdbsim_xfer_inferior_memory): Replace
	`target_has_execution' check with `to_has_memory' check.
	(gdbsim_has_all_memory, gdbsim_has_memory): New functions.
	(init_gdbsym_ops): Initialize relevant fields of `gdbsim_ops'
	with `gdbsim_has_all_memory' and `gdbsim_has_memory'.
