96c04212ba target-arm: Add AArch64 gdbstub support
We want to be able to debug AArch64 guests. So let's add the respective gdb
stub functions and xml descriptions that allow us to do so.

[PMM: dropped unused fp regs XML for now; moved 64 bit only functions
 to new gdbstub64.c; these are hooked up in AArch64CPU, not via
 ifdefs in ARMCPU]

22555301ad gdb-xml: fix hacks in powerpc register numbering
The powerpc xml files contained a hack--an empty, non-existent
register--for getting the register numbers to line up for
newer (XML-aware) and older (non-XML-aware) GDB.  While this hack worked
in some cases, it didn't work in all cases, notably when the user used
`finish' or `continue': GDB would attempt to read the non-existent
register and QEMU would complain.

This patch fixes things up properly.  Instead of inserting a fake
register, we explicitly declare the floating-point and SPE registers to
start at 71.  This action accomplishes the same thing as the nasty hack,
except that now GDB never tries to fetch the non-existant register 70.

d2c753454e Work around QEMU GDB stub suboptimality
The current XML files claim, on floating point-supporting Power chips,
that $f0 is register 70.  This would be fine, except that register 70
for non-XML-aware GDB is FPSCR.  More importantly, 70 is less than
NUM_CORE_REGS (71) for Power, so a request for register 70 goes to the
"core" register reading routines, rather than the floating-point
register read routine we registered with gdb_register_coprocessor.

Therefore, when we are talking to an XML-aware GDB, we claim that
register has zero width, which causes the rest of QEMU's GDB stub to
send an error back to GDB, which causes GDB to be unable to read the
floating-point registers.  (The problem is also present for SPE
registers and occurs in a slightly different way for Altivec registers.)

The best way to fix this is to have the "core register" XML files for
PPC32 and PPC64 claim that there is a 4-byte register 70, which causes
$f0 to be register 71, and everything works just fine from that point
forward.

e53bd70384 The different VFP variants will never occur at the same time, and giving them
different names confuses GDB, so use org.gnu.gdb.arm.vfp for all of them.

c8b3532d8a target-ppc: Add XML files for PowerPC registers
These files are nearly identical to the XML files provided with GDB.
The only difference is that power-{fpu,spe}.xml do not assign register
numbers; the internal QEMU machinery takes care of that.

Define gdb_xml_files for ppc targets in configure as well.
