Nit, this line is too long.  Patch looks good to me, otherwise.

I do something similar in AArch64 GDBserver backend to fix the crash.
Could you include this patch in your series if it is OK to you?  My
patch depends on your patch 04/18.
Note that I didn't add "set_general_process" as you suggested, because I
am not 100% sure the rules of switching current_thread.

Subject: [PATCH] [aarch64] gdbserver crash running
 gdb.threads/no-unwaited-for-left.exp

This fixes an aarch64 GDBserver crash when running
gdb.threads/no-unwaited-for-left.exp.  The problem is that current_thread
is NULL when GDBserver checks whether is 64-bit or not.  The fix is
straightforward, if current_thread is NULL, find other thread in the
same process.  If none is found, assume the thread is 64-bit.

gdb/gdbserver:

2015-10-26  Yao Qi  <yao.qi@linaro.org>

	* linux-aarch64-low.c (is_64bit_tdesc): If current_thread is NULL,
	select another thread of the same process, otherwise, select
	current_thread.
