In theory, you could write some tests for it using 'gdbreplay'.  But
getting gdbreplay to work in the testsuite harness would be quite
tricky, and it would be complicated by the fact that which registers
GDB asks for at connection is target dependent; I don't know how to
write generic remote protocol tests.

I'd love to unit test this stuff.  If you have any suggestions, I'm
all ears.
