  FT32 is a Harvard architecture with two address spaces -- RAM and flash.
This patch properly implements the address to pointer conversion method,
and its reverse. There are some other small fixes to handle address
spaces.

OK to apply?

2015-09-21  James Bowman  <james.bowman@ftdichip.com>

	* ft32-tdep.c: Properly support address <-> pointer conversions,
	so that FT32's address spaces (RAM and flash) work correctly
        when dereferencing pointers in gdb.
	* ft32-tdep.h: Add a type for an address space 1 pointer.

Hi James,
Thanks for your patch.  A few comments below...

Please split your patch, in order to place each independent small fix in
one patch.

The changelog entry looks incorrect to me.  Please read

ft32_address_to_pointer is exactly the same as
unsigned_address_to_pointer, which is the default implementation of
gdbarch method address_to_pointer.  IOW, we don't need this function.

We need comments to this function, like,

"Implementation of ....."

A blank line is needed here.

Do we really need this function?  Looks it makes no differences after
this hook is installed to gdbarch.

Only pc_type is used (in ft32_register_type), so we don't need to add
fields void_type and func_void_type.
