Re: [PATCH] gdbarch: Use an anonymous union for target data in `gdbarch_info'

As an update to commit ede5f15146ae ("gdbarch.h: Change
gdbarch_info::tdep_info's type to void *") replace the definition of the
`tdep_info' member in `struct gdbarch_info' with an anonymous union,
comprising the original member, with its type reverted to `struct
gdbarch_tdep_info *', a `tdesc_data' member of a `struct tdesc_arch_data
*' type and an `id' member of an `int *' type.  Remove now unnecessary
casts throughout use places then, making code easier to read an less
prone to errors, which may happen with casting.

I glanced quickly at your patch, and I think it looks good. As Yao said, some comments would be nice, because just like that it's hard to understand why those fields are grouped together in an union, as they seem unrelated to each other.
