Sure.  Half the linespec.c changes are unnecessary; they are left over
from an earlier prototype.  That's the build_one_canonical_line_spec
change.  The other changes to linespec.c and symtab.c provide an
interface to transform "file foo.c, line 12" into "file foo.c, line 12,
PC 0x8300; file foo.c, line 12, PC 0x9300" - i.e. resolving the line to
all of its PCs instead of just one.

You've successfully picked out the rawest part of the patch :-)  I
expect all that code to be rewritten in the next version, assuming I
find the time to go back to it.
