Re: [RFA 1/2] mips: Switch inferior function calls to ON_STACK method.


I have now checked this patch in.

Yeah - I thought we had fixed that by switching the x86/amd64 targets
to using ON_STACK.  But then when I grep'ed around, I didn't find that.
So I thought perhaps we went a different route, because I was sure we
had checked a fix in.  But in fact, reviewing the history, I think
that this issue is still open, probably one of these low-priority
issues that one looks at when there is free moment.

In my opinion, the point about not being able to write the breakpoint
if the program is executed from ROM, combined with the fact that entry
points may have CFI info, clinches it.

OK - now that this is out of the way, which comments did we want to add?
