Overall, this looks good to me, but I am not a Linux specialist,
so please give it another week before checking in to give the other
maintainers a chance to comment as well.

Below are some comments.

There is a macro, ARRAY_SIZE, that does this for you.

Trailing space at the end of this line...

There are several lines in the code and the comments of this funtion
that have trailing spaces. Can you get rid of them?

Also, several lines are too long. The absolute limit is 80 characters,
but the recommended limit is 70 characters. Can you reformat some of
the lines where it doesn't make the code uglier?

> +      target = (CORE_ADDR) read_memory_unsigned_integer (target, 4, byte_order);

This is an area where I am not sure, but I think it would be better
to use read_memory_typed_address. I think the address type that you
want is: builtin_type (gdbarch)->builtin_func_ptr.

Same below.
