Re: [PATCH 07/13] Split brekapoint_from_pc to breakpoint_kind_from_pc and sw_breakpoint_from_kind

[Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>]

Note the "brekapoint" typo -- it appears through the series
several times, both in code and in email subjects.  I suggest
using git format-patch, and grep the patches to find them all.

FYI, I think all of these above could be removed. 
target mips/ddb/pmon/etc. are all gone, and we don't support IRIX any
longer either:

*** Changes in GDB 7.12*** Changes in GDB 7.12

* Support for various remote target protocols and ROM monitors has
  been removed:

  target m32rsdi        Remote M32R debugging over SDI
  target mips           MIPS remote debugging protocol
  target pmon           PMON ROM monitor
  target ddb            NEC's DDB variant of PMON for Vr4300
  target rockhopper     NEC RockHopper variant of PMON
  target lsi            LSI variant of PMO

*** Changes in GDB 7.10

Support for these obsolete configurations has been removed.

I see this comment repeated in several places.  Shouldn't we replace it
with some "implement foo" comment ?

/me reads rest of series...

Oh, this is all eliminated in the end.  So nevermind.
