+ * ia64-hpux-nat.c (ia64_hpux_get_register_from_save_state_t):
+ New function.
+ (ia64_hpux_xfer_memory): Check if inferior_ptid is known before
+ using the regache. Use ia64_hpux_get_register_from_save_state_t
+ to access the bsp and bspstore registers if not.

* breakpoint.h (detach_breakpoints): pid parameter is now a ptid.
* breakpoint.c (detach_breakpoints): Change pid parameter into
a ptid. Adjust code accordingly.
