This is OK, but @xref does the same job. In any case, it is good
practice to put a comma after the closing brace, or else some versions
of makeinfo will bitch at you.

Where does GDB use this format? Only in "info break", as shown below,
or also in other contexts? If the latter, I suggest that the above

The patch is OK with those fixed.
