Yes, it is already cleared in FSF GDB.  Plus I think this issue is unrelated
to this multi-inferiorization patch.

It is no longer KFAIL, included gdbserver fixes.

The first one is for dead-loop of:
	Got an event from pending child 10373 (057f)
	Got a pending child 10373
	Got an event from pending child 10373 (057f)
	Got a pending child 10373
because linux_wait_for_event creates creates status_pending_p and then asks
linux_wait_for_event_1 for the next event which apparently returns the newly
created status_pending_p so linux_wait_for_event stores it back and so on.

The second fix is that despite default `set schedule-multiple off' gdbserver
sometimes resumed all the inferiors on GDB "continue".

Both cases are visible with the testcase (the first one in ~50% of runs).

Fixed.


The testcase runs in extended-remote mode only with Pedro's new board I have
not seen but it follows the advice:
	Re: testsuite: native/non-extended/extended modes
	http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-01/msg00740.html


No regressions on {x86_64,x86_64-m32,i686}-fedorarawhide-linux-gnu and in
gdbserver mode and on ppc64-rhel62-linux-gnu.


Thanks,
Jan

	Fix watchpoints to be specific for each inferior.

	current_program_space.
	* i386-nat.c (i386_inferior_data_cleanup): New.
	(i386_inferior_data_get): Replace variable inf_data_local by an
	inferior_data call.
	(i386_use_watchpoints): Initialize i386_inferior_data.
	* linux-nat.c (linux_nat_iterate_watchpoint_lwps): Use INFERIOR_PTID
