I suppose you're right -- but I'm bewildered by the number of
possible entry points and paths thru this code. In theory
I think I could get away with just covering three points:
target_read_memory, target_read_partial, and target_read_memory_partial,
were it not for the fact that do_xfer_memory is also an entry point.
I'd like to make the point here that the transition from
(deprecated_)xxx_xfer_memory to xxx_xfer_partial is taking us too long
and that we should actively work towards removing the deprecated stuff
instead of waiting for things to break. The transition state we're in
now is much too confusing, at least that seems to be the case for me.
