Thanks for your comments, Daniel,

It's going to take some time to follow your suggestions and fix the patch.

Whenever you're done with a new scheme, I'd be happy to switch to it.

Yes. The next update will include GNU/Linux Xtensa support including 
gdbserver port. The reason why it wasn't submitted now is it wasn't 
tested yet. As I mentioned, to test this particular submission, I used 
an Xtensa evaluation board under JTAG OCD control. I believe the changes 
required for this testing are not useful for GDB community. If you're 
interested in how do they look like I can send them separately.

I'll take care of the rest of your comments and resend the patch.
