+ In response to several of the tracepoint packets, the target may now
+ also respond with a number of intermediate `qRelocInsn' request
+ packets before the final result packet, to have GDB handle
+ relocating an instruction to execute at a different address. This
+ is particularly useful for stubs that support fast tracepoints. GDB
+ reports support for this feature in the qSupported packet.
