Looks great!

Two points to fix when you commit; don't bother re-posting the patch
for review:

- There's still an overly long line in m2-valprint.c, in the
  TYPE_CODE_STRUCT case.

- Similarly, there's a separate ChangeLog for the doc directory; the
  entry for your change to gdb.texinfo should go in gdb/doc/ChangeLog,
  not gdb/ChangeLog.  And generally, we put section names in parens
  after the filename, as we do for functions in C files.  Like so:

      * gdb.texinfo (M2 Types): New section.

I see that you have a copyright assignment on file.  Do you have
commit access to GDB?  If not, we'll have to get you set up with that
first.

If you do, then make a commit to gdb/MAINTAINERS, adding yourself to
"Write After Approval", with an appropriate ChangeLog entry.  Then go
ahead and commit the rest of the patch.
