	is obsolete.
	* dcache.h (dcache_update): Declare.
	* dwarf2loc.c (dwarf2_evaluate_loc_desc): Mark values on stack with
	set_value_stack.
	* frame-unwind.c (frame_unwind_got_memory): Ditto.
	* gdbcore.h (read_stack): Declare.

	(target_load, target_resume): Call target_dcache_invalidate
	instead of dcache_invalidate.
	(memory_xfer_partial): New arg object, all callers updated.
	Check for existing inferior before calling dcache routines.
	When writing non-TARGET_OBJECT_STACK_MEMORY, notify dcache.
