Probably a bit late, but I'd also like to get these fixes upstream
before the branch:

* gdb/21220  "restore" for large data structures extremely slow on
             GNU/Linux 

A regression from last year that renders "restore" for large data
structures unusable on GNU/Linux.  Proposed fix is available.

* gdb/21226  DW_OP_stack_value pieces yield wrong data on big-endian
             targets 

Causes wrong values to be displayed for certain variables on big-endian
targets.  Not a recent regression, but potentially causes severe
headaches for people running into it.  Proposed fix is available.
