I see this is already the case, but just a reminder that this will fail
(or rather the write will succeed) on targets without an MMU.  We should
skip it with something like:

set can_read_zero 0
gdb_test_multiple "x 0" "memory at address 0" {
    -re "0x0:.*Cannot access memory at address 0x0.*$gdb_prompt $" { }
    -re "0x0:.*Error accessing memory address 0x0.*$gdb_prompt $" { }
    -re ".*$gdb_prompt $" {
        set can_read_zero 1
    }
}

if { !$can_read_zero } {
  gdb_test "python print gdb.parse_and_eval('*(int*)0')" "gdb.MemoryError: Cannot access memory at address 0x0.*"
  gdb_test "python inval = gdb.parse_and_eval('*(int*)0')" "gdb.MemoryError: Cannot access memory at address 0x0.*"
}
