  I see for some program at gdb startup

Samples: 102K of event 'cycles:pu', Event count (approx.): 91710925103

lnp_state_machine::handle_special

where the divisions are the places we stall.  The following 
micro-optimizes things but it smells like m_line_header->line_range
is constant, likewise probably m_line_header->maximum_ops_per_instruction
so eventually the divisions could be avoided completely with some
lookup table.

Well.  Micro-optimizing with the patch below improves things
(don't expect [load] CSE over the gdbarch_adjust_dwarf2_line call).

Care to pick up this one-time patch without myself becoming familiar
with gdb testing & patch submission?

Thanks,
Richard.
