Patch 7/7 does more than supporting tracepoint. Tracepoint support
should be done in one patch, and this patch is only about tracepoint support.

How about starting from software breakpoint on ARM-linux GDBserver? It
doesn't depends on tracepoints. After this patch set is reviewed and
committed, you can post tracepoint patch set.
