[patch] cleanup: Remove INVALID_ENTRY_POINT (+FR-V modification)

Hi,

this patch has no (longer) relationship to other patches of mine, I just
thought when I accidentally wrote it it is worth to submit this cleanup.

CORE_ADDR width is now a bit problematic in GDB builds supporting for 32bit
and 64bit targets (to be described elsewhere).  Therefore INVALID_ENTRY_POINT
caught my eye as it should have type `CORE_ADDR' but it is `int'.  Which still
works in common cases due to automatic signed extension but it looks
dangerous.

I do not have FR-V to test, enable_break has been slightly updated over the
point of using new EI.ENTRY_POINT_P.

Regression tested on {x86_64,x86_64-m32,i686}-fedora12-linux-gnu.


Thanks,
Jan

	Remove INVALID_ENTRY_POINT.
	* objfiles.c (init_entry_point_info): Stop using INVALID_ENTRY_POINT.
	Initialize EI.ENTRY_POINT_P.
	(entry_point_address, objfile_relocate): Use EI.ENTRY_POINT_P.
	* objfiles.h (struct entry_info): Simplify entry_point comment.  New
	field entry_point_p.
	(INVALID_ENTRY_POINT): Remove.
	* solib-frv.c (enable_break): Check for NULL SYMFILE_OBJFILE and its
	EI.ENTRY_POINT_P.  Return 0 if ".interp" is not found.
