Please drop these two:

x86-64-singlestep-through-sigreturn-system-call.patch
x86-64-support-for-singlestep-into-32-bit-system-calls.patch

and replace them with the following patch, which I first posted last week.
With this, x86-64's behavior for ia32 matches the native i386 behavior
given really-ptrace-single-step-2.patch, and x86-64's native behavior is
similarly improved. The two patches above together do the same as this one
alone, but this one is cleaner.


Thanks,
Roland
