BookE/E500 support

BookE/E500 support

[Kris Warkentin]

Hi,

I was sniffing around in CVS and it looks like Jim's e500 branch is in 
6.3 and HEAD but I couldn't find any official announcement in NEWS or on 
the mailing lists.  Is the E500 fully supported now?

cheers,

Kris

There were some DW_OP_Piece changes that I'm not sure are in 6.3.   
Jim should hopefully be able to enlighten us on that.

Kumar,

The branch looks dead (there's been nothing on the list to suggest 
further merging effort).

As for DW_OP_piece, I independantly added DW_OP_piece read support to 
GDB's mainline (it can't write though).  That part proved to be 
relatively trivial and provides the more critical functionality.

Except, that patch hasn't been reviewed yet as far as I know.  It's
still pending.

Well there's definitely something strange going on then.  There seems to be
a lot of e500 functionality in mainline/6.3.  Does that mean someone is
going to have to go through it and figure out what made it in from the
branch and what still needs to be added?

This is why I was so confused.  I couldn't find any reference to a merge but
there was a lot of code in there that looked like it was from the branch.

cheers,

Kris
