Thanks for all the reviews.

Below is the final version of the patch that I pushed.

  - Fixed the typos pointed out,
  - No longer compiling the test at -O1,
  - Make use of MACRO_AT_func to generate DWARF.
  - Test /s and /m disassembly.

Thanks,
Andrew

    gdb/disassembly: Update to handle non-statement addresses
    
    After the introduction of support for non-statement addresses in the
    line table, the output for 'disassemble /m' can be broken in some
    cases.
    
    With the /m format disassembly GDB associates a set of addresses with
    each line, these addresses are then sorted and printed for each line.
    
    When the non-statement support was added GDB was incorrectly told to
    ignore non-statement instructions, and not add these to the result
    table.  This means that these instructions are completely missing from
    the output.
    
    This commit removes the code that caused non-statement lines to be
    ignored.
    
    A result of this change is that GDB will now potentially include new
    line numbers in the 'disassemble /m' output, lines that previously
    were only in the line table as non-statement lines will now appear in
    the disassembly output.  This feels like an improvement though.
    
    gdb/ChangeLog:
    
            * disasm.c (do_mixed_source_and_assembly_deprecated): Don't
            exclude non-statement entries.
    
    gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
    
            * gdb.dwarf2/dw2-disasm-over-non-stmt.exp: New file.
