Hi,

>>I read this again and found things I should have mentioned before or things I mentioned before but weren't addressed. See below.

Thanks !!

I will incorporate this change.

I will make this change.

Shouldn't the default be to _not_ assume stack protect ?

The default is choosen to assume stack protect to make compatible with the handling of stack protect registers in XMD Debugger.

>>Hmm, why is this set_gdbarch_register_type call necessary?

/* Override tdesc_register_type to adjust the types of VFP
registers for NEON. */
This is done for arm target to set the different type for VFP registers for Neon with Boolean flags is set before this call for VFP registers. In the microblaze target it's not required for special case of stack protect as the microblaze_register_type always return builtin_int for these stack protect registers.

>>The "Must match MICROBLAZE_NUM_REGS" comment now looks unnecessary to me.

I will make this change.

>>As I mentioned before, please don't forget to document the new target features in the manual.

Would you mind in explaining which manual need to be changed for the new target.
