I'm copying Joel's text into the commit message :)

FWIW, ravenscar-thread.c doesn't seem to intrinsically care about
inferior_ptid -- it is just setting it for the benefit of any lower
layers on the target stack.  So, if the rest of the stack is changed so
as not to rely on this, then ravenscar-thread can follow.

I'm re-testing this series using the AdaCore internal test suite, which
exercises ravenscar-thread; I'll push them if this goes well.

thanks,
