For reference sake, it was deleted because using it would mean adding
new features to the patch.  I wanted to keep the focus on the task at
hand.   The additions are for a different feature, and it can come in
a later patch.

It wasn't utils.c that I was referring to. Comments added.

Righto.
The new paddress in gdb has a gdbarch argument which gdbserver
currently doesn't have.
I elided it.  I hope that's ok.

The nice thing about wrapping a particular portability issue in one
place is that, well, it's in one place.  :-)  There are several places
in gdbserver that currently use (long) for printing CORE_ADDRs.

As far as being a "Note",  I wonder if we need a convention for review
comments that are mandatory versus review comments that are just
notes, lest future reviews and responses interpret them wrongly (in
either direction).

'k.  I went with arch-specific.

'k.

The context here is that the function isn't called unless
stopped_by_watchpoint has returned true.  Thus if stopped_data_address
then can't find the address something is wrong.
I've been thinking that stopped_by_watchpoint and stopped_data_address
should be combined, but it's not clear one would always want that.

This is in a subroutine of functions defined to only handle
watchpoints.  "Not supported" is handled at a higher level.  I changed
"error" to "fatal" to make this more clear.

I disagree with the categorization of having ignored those comments.
[Plus I did apply roughly 15 of 19 comments without question.  1/2 :-)]
But no worries.
Humble apologies, and noted for future reference.

Pierre, nothing much has changed win32-wise except some functions got renamed.
I don't know if you want to first give this a spin again or not.
