It looks to me as though this code should also mostly apply to ARMv6M as 
well (coretex-m0/1).  However, the choice of name 
'org.gnu.gdb.arm.core-v7m' seems to suggest otherwise.  Is there really 
a difference between the support needed for these cores?  Or would a 
more suitable name be appropriate?
