I missed 5/5... Mostly nits, overall it looks sane to me.

I'm looking at the sequence of function names and they don't look too clear.

do_target_resume/target_resume/target_do_resume.

Should we have better names for these functions? Ones that make it more 
explicit what each function is doing and the fact that we are 
potentially defering resumptions? Like "queue_resume_actions" for 
target_resume or "commit_resumption_actions" for target_do_resume?

Can do or can't do?

"GDB always calls ... target_resume one or more times."?
