The enclosed patch changes the wording that explains that GDB now
implements a write-through cache for register values. Previously
it stated that the protocol itself implements the cache, which is
obviously not true.

* remote.texi: Changed wording that implied that the GDB remote
protocol caches register values instead of GDB itself.

This eliminates the need to fetch the entire register set for each instruction
being stepped through.
! The @value{GDBN} remote serial protocol now implements a write-through
! cache for registers. @value{GDBN} only re-reads the registers if the
! target has run.
