This is version 3 of the RFC patches originally posted at:

v1.) http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-February/009084.html
v2.) http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2010-March/011170.html

Changes from v2 include:
	- Based on 2.6.35-rc2
	- Updated to use new hw-breakpoint API features
	- Addressed some comments from Frederic on LKML
	- Complete redesign of the ptrace interface so that it
	  follows the ARM ARM (v7) register structure more closely.

Unfortunately, I've only managed to compile-test this and check that the
resulting image boots. The main reasons for posting are (a) to support
current GDB development and (b) to attract comments on the code.

All comments welcome.
