In fact, it happened yesterday.

2007-06-19  Markus Deuling  <deuling@de.ibm.com>

        * gdbarch.sh (TARGET_PRINT_INSN): Replace by
	gdbarch_print_insn.
        * disasm.c (dump_insns, gdb_print_insn): Likewise.
        * gdbarch.c, gdbarch.h: Regenerate.

So I imagine you need to refresh this patch.  I was actually
suggesting you add the disassemble_info argument to gdb_print_insn,
not the number of delay slots; but this way seems fine too.

This version is OK, if Eli likes the NEWS entry and you add a
Makefile.in update (since you added #include's).  Eli, is the below
OK?
