Hi, This is the current state of my maintainer trees. The gdbstub patches are just minor clean-ups. The main feature this brings in is the ability for plugins to control time. This has been discussed before but represents the first time plugins can "control" the execution of the core. The idea would be to eventually deprecate the icount auto modes in favour of a plugin and just use icount for deterministic execution and record/replay. Alex.
