To clarify: By "target address space" do you mean the combined address
spaces of all the targets put together, or the address space of any
single target?  In other words, should a CORE_ADDR would also provide
some way of identifying a specific sub-space (i.e. specific target)?
Or should sub-space identification (which subsumes process id and host
network address) be something *separate* from the CORE_ADDR?

Again to clarify:  We're talking *target* void*, represented as an
integer type in gdb, not a pointer type.
