Haven't looked at the patches yet, but, since you haven't mentioned it, I feel
obliged to ask: Any chance I could interest you in implementing the GDBserver
side bits? We'd then be more assured the tdesc/regdat handling bits all fit
in place. It should revolve around updating linux-s390-low.c:s390_arch_setup
to return the new description. The hwcaps are already handy, with
s390_get_hwcap. The series feels incomplete without some gdbserver love. ;-)
Thanks again,
