Looks okay. A few comments below, but I'm feeling passive today,
and I'll let this go in unmodified.

Static helper functions that aren't a part of the target_ops
interface (as opposed to linux_nat_resume, say), or external,
don't usually take the "linux_nat_" prefix, so you could shorten
the function name.
I'm not particularly fond of the function names. The reason is
that:
- linux_nat_status_is_event
Returns true for breakpoint events, and other SIGTRAP events.
Returns false for other kinds of events (random signals), though
we could call these events too.
- linux_nat_lp_status_is_event
Returns true for breakpoint events, and other SIGTRAP events
Returns false for other kinds of events (random signals), and
fork/exec/clone/exit events, though we could call these events too.
Note the subtle differences.

This appears to be changing behaviour (the new waitstatus check within
the new function), but I doubt it makes a difference. I'm pointing
it out, because you're presenting the patch as cleanup. I actually wonder
why we only select SIGTRAP-like events instead of all reportable events
(as opposed to our own SIGSTOPs).
