Haven't looked at the patches yet, but, since you haven't mentioned it, I feel
obliged to ask:  Any chance I could interest you in implementing the GDBserver
side bits?  We'd then be more assured the tdesc/regdat handling bits all fit
in place.  It should revolve around updating linux-s390-low.c:s390_arch_setup
to return the new description.  The hwcaps are already handy, with
s390_get_hwcap.  The series feels incomplete without some gdbserver love.  ;-)

Thanks again,
