I asked, and apparently this is already in froggy. The filtering is
implemented kernel-side.
So, I would like it if this part were changed as I suggested
up-thread. We're starting to look at porting gdb to froggy and it
would be nice to have this in place from the beginning.
SÃrgio, I'm willing to write a patch against your branch for this, if
you want. Just let me know.
thanks,
Tom
