patch to add semihosting control for remote arm targets

[Vadim Lebedev <vadim@7chips.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 729 bytes --]


When debugging remote arm targets using  devices such as JEENI  from epitools 
the semihosting function slows execution by the target of SWI instruction 
nearly 100-fold.  This is especially annoying when you try to debug  linux 
kernel on the target as it uses SWI to implement system calls.  
The attached patch adds a set rdisemihosting {on/off/1/0/true/false} command 
to the gdb which allows one to enable or disable semihosting suppport.
the command shoud be executed before target rdi ....  command
The patch is against gdb 5.3 but i think will apply to older versions cleanly 
too.
