thank you for your review. I reworked the patch and think I addressed all of your points.

Furthermore I removed a lot of descriptions for macros that have already been deleted in the past.
I also changed the signature of some function descriptions where necessary (for example variable naming changed). 

The section "Converting an existing Target Architecture to Multi-arch" seems to be obsolete?
So I deleted it. I'm not sure about that :-) but its not hard to revert if I'm wrong with that.

I also renewed two code examples for gdbarch_unwind_pc and gdbarch_unwind_sp. 

In some places in "Target Architecture Definition" the return values of the functions were added, in others not.
I now added the return values to all descriptions in that section. The macros and functions in that section are all @items.
Maybe we should change the functions to @deftypefun? 

The patch got a little longer than I expected :-)

ChangeLog:

	* gdb.texinfo: Replace following macros by their appropriate gdbarch
	routines:
	(TARGET_CHAR_SIGNED, CALL_DUMMY_LOCATION, CANNOT_FETCH_REGISTER)

	(SDB_REG_TO_REGNUM, DWARF2_REG_TO_REGNUM, BELIEVE_PCC_PROMOTION)
	(CONVERT_REGISTER_P, REGISTER_TO_VALUE, VALUE_TO_REGISTER)
	(POINTER_TO_ADDRESS, ADDRESS_TO_POINTER, EXTRACT_RETURN_VALUE)
	(STORE_RETURN_VALUE, SKIP_PROLOGUE, MEMORY_INSERT_BREAKPOINT)
	(BREAKPOINT_FROM_PC, MEMORY_REMOVE_BREAKPOINT, DECR_PC_AFTER_BREAK)
	(ADDR_BITS_REMOVE, TARGET_PRINT_INSN, SKIP_TRAMPOLINE_CODE)
	(IN_SOLIB_RETURN_TRAMPOLINE, NAME_OF_MALLOC, ADDRESS_CLASS_TYPE_FLAGS)
	(ADDRESS_CLASS_TYPE_FLAGS_TO_NAME, ADDRESS_CLASS_TYPE_FLAGS_P).
	(ADDRESS_CLASS_NAME_to_TYPE_FLAGS, ADJUST_BREAKPOINT_ADDRESS)
	(PRINT_FLOAT_INFO, PRINT_VECTOR_INFO, INTEGER_TO_ADDRESS)
	(SKIP_PERMANENT_BREAKPOINT, TARGET_VIRTUAL_FRAME_POINTER).

	(push_dummy_call, stabs_argument_has_addr, unwind_sp, unwind_pc)
	(print_registers_info, push_dummy_code, unwind_dummy_id): Rework.

	(OS9K_VARIABLES_INSIDE_BLOCK, KERNEL_U_ADDR, KERNEL_U_ADDR_HPUX)
	(REGISTER_U_ADDR, U_REGS_OFFSET, DEBUG_PTRACE): Remove description.

	(Converting an existing Target Architecture to Multi-arch): Remove
	 section.

	(gdbarch_unwind_pc, gdbarch_unwind_sp): Renew code example.

	* gdb.texinfo: Replace REGISTER_NAME by gdbarch_register_name.

Is this ok ?
