Regarding procfs, when I studied it in the past, I concluded that
address_to_host_pointer() was needed. This is due to the fact that
the struct which serves as the watchpoint interface to procfs contains
a pointer. This is truly unfortunate though since, for platforms
which support more than one ABI (which differ in pointer sizes), the
correct ABI must be used to compile gdb. If the wrong ABI is chosen,
watchpoint support won't work.
