Subject: [RFC] Time for a shared linux-nat.c module?

I notice that there are now a bunch of <arch>-linux-tdep.c 
modules, and that some of them share a bunch of duplicate code.  

I'm wondering if it isn't time to create a linux-nat.c module, 
shared by all host architectures, into which we can move
some of this code instead of maintaining separate, duplicate
versions.
