I've checked all of those in, except for the i386-tdep.c one:

@@ -169,6 +169,8 @@ i386_register_name (int regnum)
 static int
 i386_dbx_reg_to_regnum (int reg)
 {
+  struct gdbarch *gdbarch = get_frame_arch (get_current_frame ());
+
   /* This implements what GCC calls the "default" register map
      (dbx_register_map[]).  */
 
You should not call get_current_frame at this point; this might
in fact fail as there is not necessarily a current frame selected
at the point this callback is called.

Instead, you should change the XXX_reg_to_regnum gdbarch entries
from type "f" to "m"; then the functions will be automatically
provided with a gdbarch parameter.  (This should be a separate
patch from the remaining trivial current_gdbarch replacements.)

Bye,
Ulrich
