It is difficult to push patches which make sense only with off-trunk patches.
Preparing upstreaming of forgotten:
[patch 0/4] hw watchpoints across fork() + multi-inf
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-12/msg00041.html
Unfortunately facing various unrelated bugs trying to make it compatible also
with gdbserver so I may rather limit it to linux-nat again.
Thanks,
