symbols on disk to speed up further loading of the same binaries.
* Various GDB/MI enhancements.
* GDBserver on PowerPC GNU/Linux now supports access to the PPR,
DSCR, TAR, EBB/PMU, and HTM registers.
* Ada task switching support when debugging programs built with
the Ravenscar profile added to aarch64-elf.

Use ./patches and ./patches-arc instead of version dependent patches.
We should have only one main supported version (along with the special
case for arc).

With bump of upstream GDB from 7.9 to 7.10 at least
100-no_extern_inline.patch became incompatible with
ARC gdb (which is still based on upstream 7.9 branch).
So until ARC support is not completely upstreamed
(which we expect to happen in coming months) we'll need to have
separate patches for ARC gdb.
This time clean build-tested for Netgear WNDRMAC & AXS101.
