[patch 1/3] Implement support for PowerPC BookE masked watchpoints


Hi,

I broke up the patch I submitted previously as "[patch 2/2] Implement
support for PowerPC BookE masked and ranged watchpoints" into the three
patches in this series. The first adds masked watchpoint support, the
second adds ranged watchpoints support (without the watch-range command)
and the third adds the polemic watch-range command.

This patch is a bigger than the others because it has to add code to
handle the new target methods extra_resources_needed,
works_in_software_mode and print_one_detail. The code is the same as
what was already reviewed though, except for fixing the GNU style
regarding whitespace in ppc_linux_{insert,remove}_mask_watchpoint.

I changed a bit the wording of the paragraph mentioning masked
watchpoint support in the NEWS file, and also added a "Changed Commands"
section so the NEWS entry needs another review.  The manual part is the
same except for omitting the sentences about ranged watchpoint support.

Ok to commit?

	Implement support for PowerPC BookE masked.

gdb/
	*NEWS: Mention masked watchpoint support.  Create "Changed commands"
	sections and populate it based on other NEWS items.
	* breakpoint.c (is_masked_watchpoint): Add prototype.
	(update_watchpoint): Call breakpoint's
	breakpoint_ops.extra_resources_needed and
	breakpoint_ops.works_in_software_mode if available.
	(watchpoints_triggered): Handle the case of a hardware masked
	watchpoint trigger.
	(watchpoint_check): Likewise.
	(print_one_breakpoint_location): Call breakpoint's
	breakpoint_ops.print_one_detail if available.

	functions.
	(masked_watchpoint_breakpoint_ops): New structure.
	(watch_command_1): Check for the existence of the `mask' parameter.

	* breakpoint.h (struct ui_out): New opaque declaration.
	(struct breakpoint_ops) <extra_resources_needed>,
	<works_in_software_mode>, <print_one_detail>: New methods.
	Initialize them to NULL in all existing breakpoint_ops instances.
	(struct breakpoint_ops) <print_it>: Add OLD_VAL parameter.  Update all
	implementations of the method.

+watch EXPRESSION mask MASK_VALUE
+  The watch command now supports the mask argument which allows creation
+  of masked watchpoints, if the current architecture supports this feature.
+
+watch -location EXPRESSION
+watch -l EXPRESSION
+  The "watch" command now accepts an optional "-location" argument.
+  When used, this causes GDB to watch the memory referred to by the
