Really nice patch!

Just one tiny nit...

This is the ChangeLog for GDB code, so things in gdb/ and python/ code
related files have ChangeLog entries here.

But the entries below belong in the testsuite/ChangeLog and without the
preceding "testsuite" in the log.

I don't see a documentation entry.  Similarly documentation entries are
added in the doc/ChangeLog


But this patch looks great.  Tom or another maintainer will look at it
soon.
