But just to clarify, gdbserver will still use ARC specific

some out-of-mainline tree until that gets fixed.

But your customers could use an out-of-tree kernel patch to put the
implementation of PEEKUSR back into their kernels, right?

Over time, they could just drop that patch once they move to a
newer gdb version.
