The point of these changes is to avoid reading the frame pointer

	and stack pointer during stepping, to speed things up.
	A.  Changes to not select a frame until we need a selected frame:
	    * blockframe.c (flush_cached_frames): Call select_frame (NULL, -1).
	    * infrun.c (wait_for_inferior): Move call to select_frame back to
	    normal_stop.  This reverts a change of 13 Apr 94 (it says Jeff
	    Law, but the change was my idea); the only reason for that change
	    was so we could save and restore the selected frame in
	    wait_for_inferior, and now that flush_cached frames clears the
	    selected frame, that should work OK now.
	B.  Changes to not create a current_frame until we need one:
	    * blockframe.c (get_current_frame): If current_frame is NULL, try
	    to create an innermost frame.
	    * sparc-tdep.c (sparc_pop_frame), infcmd.c (run-stack_dummy),
	    infrun.c (wait_for_inferior), thread.c (thread_switch),
	    convex-tdep.c (set_thread_command), a29k-tdep.c (pop_frame),
	    alpha-tdep.c (alpha_pop_frame), convex-xdep.c (core_file_command),
	    h8300-tdep.c (h8300_pop_frame), h8500-tdep.c (h8300_pop_frame),
	    hppa-tdep.c (hppa_pop_frame), i386-tdep.c (i386_pop_frame),
	    i960-tdep.c (pop_frame), m68k-tdep.c
	    (m68k_pop_frame), mips-tdep.c (mips_pop_frame), rs6000-tdep.c
	    (push_dummy_frame, pop_dummy_frame, pop_frame), sh-tdep.c
	    (pop_frame), config/arm/tm-arm.h (POP_FRAME),
	    config/convex/tm-convex.h (POP_FRAME), config/gould/tm-pn.h
	    (POP_FRAME), config/ns32k/tm-merlin.h (POP_FRAME),
	    config/ns32k/tm-umax.h (POP_FRAME), config/tahoe/tm-tahoe.h
	    (POP_FRAME), config/vax/tm-vax.h (POP_FRAME): Don't
	    call create_new_frame.
	    * corelow.c (core_open), altos-xdep.c (core_file_command),
	    arm-xdep.c (core_file_command), gould-xdep.c (core_file_command),
	    m3-nat.c (select_thread), sun386-nat.c (core_file_command),
	    umax-xdep.c (core_file_command): Don't call create_new_frame; do
	    call flush_cached_frames.
	    * blockframe.c (reinit_frame_cache): Don't call create_new_frame
	    or select_frame.
	C.  Changes to get rid of stop_frame_address and instead only
	fetch the frame pointer when we need it.
	    * breakpoint.c (bpstat_stop_status): Remove argument
	    frame_address; use FRAME_FP (get_current_frame ()).
	    * infrun.c (wait_for_inferior): Don't pass frame pointer to
	    bpstat_stop_status.
	    * infrun.c (wait_for_inferior): Use FRAME_FP (get_current_frame
	    ()) instead of stop_frame_address.
	    * infrun.c (save_inferior_status, restore_inferior_status),
	    inferior.h (struct inferior_status): Don't save and restore
	    stop_frame_address.
	    * inferior.h, infcmd.c, thread.c (thread_switch), m3-nat.c
	    (select_thread): Remove stop_frame_address and uses thereof.
	D.  Same thing for the stack pointer.
	    * infrun.c (wait_for_inferior): Remove stop_sp and replace
	    uses thereof with read_sp ().
	E.  Change to eliminate one nasty little spot where we were
	wanting to know the frame pointer from before the current step
	(idea from GDB 3.5, which saved my ass, because my other ideas of
	how to fix it were very baroque).
	    * infrun.c: Remove prev_frame_address.
	    * infrun.c (wait_for_inferior, step_over_function): Use
	    step_frame_address instead of prev_frame_address.
	F.  Same basic idea for the stack pointer.
	    * inferior.h, infcmd.c: New variable step_sp.
	    * infcmd.c (step_1, until_next_command): Set it.
	    * infrun.c: Remove prev_sp and replace uses by step_sp.
	    * infrun.c (wait_for_inferior): If we get out of the step
	    range, then set step_sp to the current stack pointer before we
	    start going again.
