Add a new CORE_ADDR pointer parameter, and use that as
output. C hange the return type to int to indicate failure/success.
That is, model the interface of this function from to_stopped_data_address's
interface.

Isn't there a macro to access __data.__fault.__addr ?  I'd have
guessed pi->prstatus.pr_info.sa_addr, similarly to 
how we use pi->prstatus.pr_lwp.pr_info.si_signo already.  That
is, pr_info is a siginfo_t.  That would probably get rid of
the NEW_PROC_API usage and worries.

Find_procinfo_or_die throws if the procinfo isn't
found (it's the die part), so this check is dead code.
I wonder if this procinfo is the correct one.  Shouldn't
this look for the the procinfo for the current thread (the tid
in inferior_ptid), not the one for the main thread?

You can assume that this target_ops method is only
ever called if a watchpoint is hit in the first
place (if target_stopped_by_watchpoint returned
true), so remove all this (duplicated) code.
