I'd prefer to have a little more historical info in the patch header
so that anyone still running gdb-7.6 has a better shot at finding out
what is going on (some folks in the embedded world end up relying on
surprisingly old cross-toolsets).

In other words something more like:

  Using set remotebaud to set the baud rate was deprecated in
  gdb-7.7 and completely removed from the command parser in gdb-7.8
  (released in 2014). Adopt set serial baud instead.

Other than that the change looks good to me so with an improved
description containing the above versions and dates this can be:
