Looking at the code, it should be executed each time the SP register
gets changed, which means it should trigger when calling functions
from GDB. Deactivating exec_one_dummy_insn entirely did not result
in any regression I could notice. That was on AIX 7.1.
That being said, I'm hesitant of removing the code regardless,
since this could only be needed in specific situations which might
not be covered by the testsuites we have.
I was looking at how to replace that call, but I am not sure
how to fix the code up, though. Perhaps we could just write
the breakpoint instruction in by hand, rather than go through
the breakpoint module? After all, it is already doing almost
everything else by hand!
In fact, looking at the code again now, I'm a little more tempted
to see what happens if we remove it ;-).
