Many of these issues don't arise in embedded system simulators that
don't provide a full UNIX-style process model (virtual memory, I/O,
etc.), so state save/restore is not that hard.  Our SID simulator has
some native (gdb-independent) state save/restore functionality, for
example, and it can include simulated I/O hardware.
