[PATCH] add 'rs6000_in_function_epilogue_p()'


This patch fixes a problem when watching local variables on PowerPC.

Here is a reference from the gdb mailing list:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2005-11/msg00602.html

I know the patch uses a depreciated function and I am open to ideas.
Here is a reference from the gdb mailing list about ideas to avoid using the depreciated function:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2005-11/msg00623.html

I wanted to submit this patch as a starting point, but if it is acceptable, I'll commit it.

2005-11-30  Paul Gilliam  <pgilliam@us.ibm.com>

	* rs6000-tdep.c: Add new subroutine, 'rs6000_in_function_epilogue_p()'
	and put it into the architecture vector.
