[PATCH 0/7] x86/Linux Target Description Changes

[Andrew Burgess <aburgess@redhat.com>]

This series started when I ran the test script
gdb.server/connect-with-no-symbol-file.exp on an x86-64/Linux target
(with the unix board file) and noticed that two core files were left
behind.

The test is a gdbserver test (even when the unix board is used), and
the two core files are generated by the inferior as gdbserver detaches
from them.

I tracked the problem down to some issues with how gdbserver creates
its target descriptions.

Instead of just fixing gdbserver I think it would be good to share
more of the target description creation code between GDB and
gdbserver, the issue that gdbserver has is already fixed on the GDB
side.

By patch #5 enough code is shared that the problem mentioned above is
fixed.

Patches #6 and #7 try to share more code between GDB and gdbserver as
I think this is a good thing.

Thanks,
Andrew
