Re: [PATCH]: memory region attribute nits


J.T., A ramble,

As an unofficial guideline, I'd be most worried about the targets I've
listed as buildable in the MAINTAINERS file.  If there is a target that
is known to not build then I personally think it is questionable to
expect you to get your changes right for that target.

As an example the SOFTWARE_SINGLE_STEP patch builds for all the targets
listed in MAINTAINERS (it is how I found the sparc64 problem - just got
to test it).  As for other targets, I _think_ I got things right. 
However,  like everyone else, I'm only human and so may well have got
something wrong :-/

In the future, this problem - being able to reliably make global changes
- is likely to become more of an issue.  We don't want to let GDB's
development get bogged down because people fear the consequences of
making even simple mechanical changes.  Things like -Werror and listing
buildable targets in MAINTAINERS are all part of my secret agenda to
make the process more tractable.
