Yes, this would be the correct place.

I guess it's probably worth getting the documentation approved before

This would be nice, but I don't consider this required as a prerequisite,
considering that there has been no demand for gdb related docs as yet,
other than DWARF register numbers.  I'm still waiting for the RVI T&R HSC
to create a committee to own the ABI, so meanwhile the ABI committee is
basically me, though I do usually try to get an opinion from at least one
LLVM developer before I accept patches.  And I Iry to include FreeBSD folks
too when necessary.

FYI The binutils patches are OK now.  I think the only unresolved issue is
the NT_ number to use, and I'm OK with the ascii number, though you may
need to get agreement from others on that.
