I think that won't work, because only Z-packet breakpoint addresses need
to be translated to real addresses before being sent to SID.
TRANSLATE_XFER_ADDRESS translates memory read/write addresses, which must
not be translated before being sent to SID for the architecture in
question.

Meaning virtual CORE_ADDRs?  I agree.

Do we have a consensus that a SID-side approach is preferable to a
GDB-side one?
