A long time ago, I changed the DWARF reader to read all the sections
lazily. Off and on I've wondered whether that was actually a mistake.
For one thing, it requires passing stuff like this around. Also, it can
slow down hot paths, since they need to call the method to make sure the
section is mapped. There's also at least one bug in bugzilla related to
this (if you unlink a .so, gdb can be unhappy).
For my threading project, I removed this lazy reading. We should
consider doing this sooner, perhaps. The idea here is just that, if gdb
is going to read the debuginfo anyway, then loading at least the
sections needed to read .debug_info makes sense.
