Patch 2 should be probably dropped as the patch itself makes no sense. There
there is IMO some non-stop race unrelated to the PIE patched but triggered by
the patchset (causing testsuite regression).

Patch 3 has wrong gdbarch dealing but it should affect only Cell
frame-specific arches, if at all so did not get to it back. Shouldn't be
rather `gdbarch' moved from `struct bp_location' to `struct address_space'?
But got lost in the details of gdbarch by Markus Deuling / Ulrich Weigand.

Thanks, BTW there are now some add-ons to that series which are still not
properly split/integrated/reposted.
