Revised UDP support (was: Re: [Fwd: [patch] UDP transport support])
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/gdb-patches/2000-04/msg00000.html
(Broken) support for GDB's remote protocol across UDP is to be
included in the follow-on release.
It should be noted that UDP can only work when the [Gg] packet fits in
a single UDP packet.
There is also much debate over the merit of this.
Rename read_register{,_pid}() to read_unsigned_register{,_pid}().

Fix the ``!'' packet.
JT reported that the existing targets do, in fact return ``OK'' so it
is possible to merge remote and extended-remote targets.

Drop ``<address>'' from the [SsCc] packets.
I don't think that GDB generates them so having it in the protocol is
silly.

Fix doco on the ``q'' packet.
It has evolved into a generic RPC. The notes should reflect this and,
perhaps, the ``Q'' packet can be deprecated.
The doco should mention that ``OK'' is a valid packet response.
The doco should explain why ``OK'' needs to be a valid packet
response.

Underlying problem is that the register file is target endian. If the
