I haven't looked at the patch itself (I trust you on this part).
The part that I wondered about is documentation. I don't think
we have a manual for the embedded simulator in general, but IWBN
if we could somehow document those switches. Perhaps the best we could
do is just at least announce them in the gdb/NEWS file?
I assume that "target sim --help" will print a usage, so people have
a way of get a list of supported switches without having to read
the code?
