changes since v1:
  - rename qemu_get_thread_id() to gdb_fmt_thread_id() [Philippe]
  - check qemu_strtoul() return value for 'D' packets [Philippe]


This series adds support for the multiprocess extension of the GDB
remote protocol in the QEMU GDB stub.

This extension is useful to split QEMU emulated CPUs in different
processes from the point of view of the GDB client. It adds the
possibility to debug different kind of processors (e.g. an AArch64 and
an ARMv7 CPU) at the same time (it is not possible otherwise since GDB
expects an SMP view at the thread granularity.

CPUs are grouped using specially named QOM containers. CPUs that are
children of such a container are grouped under the same GDB process.

The last patch groups the CPUs of different model in the zynqmp machines
into separate processes.

To test this patchset, you can use the following commands:

(Note that this requires a recent enough GDB, I think GDB 7.2 is OK.
Also, it must be compiled to support both ARM and AArch64 architectures)

Run QEMU: (-smp 6 in xlnx-zcu102 enables both cortex-a53 and cortex-r5
CPUs)

qemu-system-aarch64 -M xlnx-zcu102 -gdb tcp::1234 -S -smp 6

Run the following commands in GDB:

target extended :1234
add-inferior
inferior 2
attach 2
info threads

I want to thanks the Xilinx's QEMU team who sponsored this work for
their collaboration and their prototype implementation.
