/* A GDB target interface can use these types to communicate to the
   architecture support (gdbarch) what new or optional features
   it supports.

   Each individual gdb_available_feature describes a target-specific
   unit of functionality, often including a group of registers,
   possibly including other bits of which the debugger needs
   explicit knowledge.  GDB may recognize the feature by name,
   or query the target for additional details.  If it recognizes
   the feature by name, it may take advantage of the feature's
   presence in additional ways - e.g. by knowing the calling
   conventions for functions using the new registers.

   If GDB does not recognize the feature by name, and the feature
   requests explicit debugger support, GDB may suggest an upgrade
   to the user.  */
