This new patch addresses all your comments except this one above.  IMO, the
 whole agent work in GDBserver doesn't consider much about multi-process, so
 this problem shall be addressed as a whole, when we start to support agent in
 multi-process.  I leave a FIXME in comment there.  WDYT?

gdb/gdbserver:

2012-06-14  Yao Qi  <yao@codesourcery.com>

	* server.h: Declare run_inferior_command and
	maybe_write_ipa_not_loaded.
	* target.c (kill_inferior): Include "agent.h".
	New.  Send command 'kill'.
	* target.h (kill_inferior): Removed macro.
	* tracepoint.c (run_inferior_command): Remove 'static'.
	(kill_inferior): New.
	(maybe_write_ipa_not_loaded): Remove 'static'.
	(gdb_agent_helper_thread): Handle command 'close'.
	Wait endlessly until the inferior stops.

gdb/doc:

2012-06-14  Yao Qi  <yao@codesourcery.com>

	* gdb.texinfo (IPA Protocol Commands): Document new command
	'close'.
