gdb: Memory Transfer

 
 Memory Transfer
 ...............
 
 Structured data which is transferred using a memory read or write (for
 example, a 'struct stat') is expected to be in a protocol-specific
 format with all scalar multibyte datatypes being big endian.
 Translation to this representation needs to be done both by the target
 before the 'F' packet is sent, and by GDB before it transfers memory to
 the target.  Transferred pointers to structured data should point to the
 already-coerced data at any time.
