The only issue that I think might come out of this is
that on MIPS, addresses are signed, so pointers are sign
extended. But we can definitely handle whatever fallout this
may cause, if any, when we see it. Clearly if GDB's native
targets can handle that, so should gdbserver's, and in any
case the issue should be pretty localized. Just pointing it
out FYI, to keep an eye out for it.
