Sounds good.
Re. "control agent by commands". So you're planning on making the agent speak
some other command set other than RSP? I'd think that making it talk exactly
RSP would be the best, since #1, you need some kind of command set anyway;
#2, the agent should be able to support debugging (stepping, breakpoints,
etc.) without gdbserver involved, and for that you'd want to support
the RSP anyway so that GDB can connect. Unless you're coming up with some
new rpc/marshaling protocol that's clearly superior to RSP?
