Hi all,

I make a new patch that change "can-use-displaced-stepping" to
"displaced-stepping" and change some part according to Eli's idea in
doc.

2008-10-22  Hui Zhu  <teawater@gmail.com>
	    Pedro Alves  <pedro@codesourcery.com>

	* infrun.c (can_use_displaced_stepping): Change type to const char
	pointer.
	(can_use_displaced_stepping_auto): New string.
	(can_use_displaced_stepping_on): New string.
	(can_use_displaced_stepping_off): New string.
	(can_use_displaced_stepping_enum): New array.
	(show_can_use_displaced_stepping): In auto mode, also show the
	current effect of the option.
	(use_displaced_stepping): Return non-zero if displaced stepping is
	auto, and can be used with GDBARCH, and in non-stop mode.  Return
	non-zero if displaced stepping is on, and can be used with
	GDBARCH.  Return zero otherwise.
	(_initialize_infrun): Make the "set displaced-stepping"
	command an enum command.  Change its class to class_run.  Place it
	in the top level set list.  Extend help to describe the auto mode.

	* gdb.texinfo (displaced-stepping): Describe the auto mode
	setting, and say it's the default.  This is now a mainstream
	setting instead of a maintenance setting.

Thanks,
Hui
