Getting the i386 watchpoints into the taget vector?

[Andrew Cagney <ac131313 at ges dot redhat dot com>]

Hello,

With the watchpoint interface made part of the target vector, its time 
to think about how the i386 case should be handled.  Instead of using a 
system interface, the i386 manipulates the hardware watchpoint registers 
directly.  For want of a better name, I'll call this ``native watchpoints''.

One thought is to change the config/i386/nm-i386.h macros to something 
native specific (native_insert_watchpoint()) and then have the various 
native targets (infptrace.c, ...) add these methods to their target vector.

It does restrict things to native targets.  A remote target couldn't 
make use of GDB's built-in knowledge of watchpoint registers.

Another (less well thought out) idea, is for the target stack, to fall 
back to the ``native watchpoint'' mechanism when the [remote] target 
doesn't support watchpoints. I think this would mean putting the 
``native watchpoint'' methods in the architecture vector where the 
target vector code could call it.

Thoughts?  Better ideas?
