Once I realized that find_pc_partial_function no longer needed to
track both the minimum/maximum function addresses AND the range in
which PC is found, I decided to leave the name alone.  (We only track
the latter now.)  For a while, I had rewritten it as you had suggested
in your earlier review.  It definitely made sense to do this when
find_pc_partial_function returned values for *ADDRESS and *ENDADDR
which referred to the min/max addresses of the function.

I'll take another look at it though.  If I decide to leave these names
unchanged, I'll extend the comment in the declaration for
cache_pc_function_{low,high}.
