RFA: Make --memory-info work for MIPS simulators

[Nick Clifton]

Hi Thiemo,

  The --memory-info command line switch (and its alias --info-memory)
  do not work for the MIPS simulator because the memory regions are
  not set up until after the command line has been parsed.  The
  attached patch fixes this by delaying the processing of
  --memory-info until after the regions have been initialized.

  The patch does have one slightly dubious component - it removes the
  mips specific command line options table from the linked list of
  options tables once the command line has been processed.  It does
  this so that the real handler for --memory-info can be called via
  the sim_do_commandf() function.  I think that this is safe, since
  there is no longer any need to process mips specific command line
  switches.

  Before the patch:
  
    % mips64vrel-elf-run --memory-info a.out
    Memory maps:
    
  After the patch:

    % mips64vrel-elf-run --memory-info a.out
    Memory maps:
      memory region 0x7fff8000,0x8000
      memory alias 0xa0000000@0x1,0x20000000%0x800000,0x80000000@0x1

   May I apply this patch please ?

Cheers
  Nick

this was incorrect.

2007-08-10  Nick Clifton  <nickc@redhat.com>

	* interp.c (options enum): Add OPTION_INFO_MEMORY.
        (display_mem_info): New static variable.
        (mips_option_handler): Handle OPTION_INFO_MEMORY.
        (mips_options): Add info-memory and memory-info.
        (sim_open): After processing the command line and board
        specification, check display_mem_info.  If it is set then
        call the real handler for the --memory-info command line
        switch.
