Hello,

GDB's testsuite is known to be full of xfails that are really kfails or 
testsuite bugs.  Rather than try to audit each xfail in turn, the 
proposal as been to rip out all the xfails (creating a clean slate) and 
start marking up the tests from scratch - two steps forward but first 
one step back.

I figure I might as well try to get the ball rolling on this and find 
out just how much real resistance there is going to be to a change like 
this.  To that end, this removes all xfail's from the gdb.mi testsuite. 
  Similar tests, for the other directories, would follow.

On a GNU/Linux i386 system (Red Hat 7.2 I think) I see:

Before:

                 === gdb Summary ===

# of expected passes            8298
# of unexpected failures        60
# of unexpected successes       10
# of expected failures          172
# of unsupported tests          2

After:

                 === gdb Summary ===

# of expected passes            8298
# of unexpected failures        88
# of unexpected successes       10
# of expected failures          144
# of unsupported tests          2

Comments?
