Re: [PATCH 1/2] [gdbserver] Rename supports_conditional_breakpoints to supports_hardware_single_step

In my patch https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-04/msg01110.html
a new target_ops hook supports_conditional_breakpoints was added to
disable conditional breakpoints if target doesn't have hardware single
step.  This patch is to generalize this hook from
supports_conditional_breakpoints to supports_hardware_single_step,
so that the following patch can use it.


Could we generalize this even more to supports_single_step like your next patch ?

Since I'm working on software single stepping for ARM, if this patch goes in I'll need to implement a supports_software_single_step and enable ConditionalBreakpoints for this case too...

Is there a need to know that it's really hardware or just knowing that it can single step would be ok ?
