Looks we have two set of 'async notification' stuff here :) I am trying to set up an infrastructure of 'async notification' in gdb, so that other components can use it. Patches are here,


  http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-10/msg00404.html
  [RFC 0/7 V3]A general notification in GDB RSP

It is general, not specific to any notifications, and scalable. We've probably have two internal cases of using it, 'trace status change' and 'stub/probe status change', so "Target-defined breakpoint" can use it easily as well.

Do you mind if I suggest maintainers to review my 'async notification' patches first? Once they go in, we can rebase your patch on top of it. I am sure your patch will be shorter dramatically then. WDYT? Or if you find my 'async notification' doesn't meet your needs, let me know.
