and in fact a separate number seems to be needed, as the breakpoint
number is unknown (zero) when the breakpoint location is created. I did
not investigate this further and  just added a number to bp_location.

ok, here is a first step: attached is small patch that stores the
breakpoint locations in a splay instead of a list. The patch is fairly
straight forward: mostly one compare function for splay-tree.c and a
number of iterator functions to simplify the access macros. It even
survived a make check. I hope this patch motivates someone to fix the
scalability issues with breakpoints ;-)
