I don't really know: I didn't have enough time to read your patch
carefully. I just noticed that you said "This patch makes breakpoint
always inserted", and thought that gdbint.texinfo might tell we remove
breakpoints on each target stop and re-insert them before each resume.
"Always inserted" sounded like it invalidates this model, does it?

Yes, that too.
Thanks.
