  This patch started as a proposal to upstream a test from the Fedora
GDB tree (patch #2), however, as I started looking into the test a
little more I realised that there was scope for further improvements
to GDB (patch #3).  Patch #1 is a small cleanup/refactor.

This patch is all about loading vmcore files -- that is core files
generated by the Linux kernel.  See the commit messages on patches #2
and #3 for more details.

Thanks,
Andrew
