This commit implements the needed bits for SystemTap SDT probe support
on AArch64 architectures.
First, I started by looking at AArch64 assembly specification and
filling the necessary options on gdbarch's stap machinery in order to
make the generic asm parser (implemented in stap-probe.c) recognize
AArch64's asm.
After my last patch for the SystemTap SDT API, which extends it in order
to accept multiple prefixes and suffixes, this patch became simpler. I
also followed Marcus suggestion and did not shared code between 32- and
64-bit ARM.
Tom asked me in a previous message how I did my tests. I believe I
replied that, but just in case: I ran the tests on
gdb.base/stap-probe.exp by hand. I also managed to run the tests on
real hardware, and they pass without regressions.

* NEWS: Mention SystemTap SDT probe support for AArch64 GNU/Linux.
* aarch64-linux-tdep.c: Include necessary headers for parsing of
SystemTap SDT probes.
(aarch64_stap_is_single_operand): New function.
(aarch64_stap_parse_special_token): Likewise.
(aarch64_linux_init_abi): Declare SystemTap SDT probe argument
prefixes and suffixes. Initialize gdbarch with them.
If we are running on a Linux platform we should call linux_init_abi
in order to get all the useful hooks it enables.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2013-10-10 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org>
* aarch64-linux-tdep.c (aarch64_linux_init_abi): Call
linux_init_abi.
2013-02-08 Yufeng Zhang <yufeng.zhang@arm.com>
* aarch64-linux-tdep.c (AARCH64_LINUX_SIZEOF_GREGSET): Change the
number of the registers from 36 to 34.
