Not all cores and boards support adaptive clocking, so qualify
all advice to use it to depend on core and board support.
It's primarily ARM cores which support this; and many of the
newer ones (like Cortex-M series) don't.

Remove long-obsolete text about "erase_check" affecting "flash info" output.
Move parts of that text to "protect_check", where it's still relevant; and
update the "flash info" description to mention the issue.
(This is still awkward. It might be best to make "protect_check" mirror
"erase_check" by dumping what it finds, so "flash info" doesn't dump any
potentially-stale cache info.)

The "-f" is a shortcut for "-c" ... and providing any "-c" options
means the "openocd.cfg" file isn't implicitly used. Both the User's
Guide and the manual page were weak on these points, which has led
to some confusion.
Also update the manual page to include highlights of the search path
mechanism, including the facts that it exists and that "-s" adds to it.
Stop saying only the current directory is involved; the OpenOCD
script library is quite significant.
(Missing: complete manpage coverage of the search path, including a

This addresses what would otherwise be something of a functional
regression. An earlier version of the interface had a dangerous
problem: it would silently erase data outside the range it was
told to erase. Fixing that bug turned up some folk who relied on
that unsafe behavior. (The classic problem with interface bugs!)
Now they can get that behavior again. If they really need it,
just specify "pad".

Most commands are usable only at runtime; so don't bother saying
that, it's noise. Moreover, tokens like EXEC are cryptic. Be
more clear: highlight only the commands which may (also) be used
during the config stage, thus matching the docs more closely.
There are
- Configuration commands (per documentation)
- And also some commands that valid at *any* time.
Update the docs to note that "help" now shows this mode info.

Most of this patch updates documentation and comments for various
Luminary boards, supporting two bug fixes by helping to make sense
of the current mess:
- Recent rev C lm3s811 eval boards didn't work. They must use
the ICDI layout, which sets up some signals that the older
boards didn't need. This is actually safe and appropriate
for *all* recent boards ... so just make "luminary.cfg" use
the ICDI layout.
- "luminary-lm3s811.cfg", was previously unusable! No VID/PID;
and the wrong vendor string. Make it work, but reserve it
for older boards where the ICDI layout is wrong.
- Default the LM3748 eval board to "luminary.cfg", like the
other boards. If someone uses an external JTAG adapter, all
boards will use the same workaround (override that default).
The difference between the two FT2232 layouts is that eventually
the EVB layout will fail cleanly when asked to enable SWO trace,
but the ICDI layout will as cleanly be able to enable it. Folk
using "luminary.cfg" with Rev B boards won't see anything going
wrong until SWO support is (someday) added.

In conjunction with manual register setup, this lets the ETM trigger
cause entry to debug state. It should make it easier to test and
bugfix the ETM code, by enabling non-trace usage and isolating bugs
specific to thef ETM support. (One current issue being that trace
data collection using the ETB doesn't yet behave.)
For example, many ARM9 cores with an ETM should be able to implement
four more (simple) breakpoints and two more (simple) watchpoints than
the EmbeddedICE supports. Or, they should be able to support complex
breakpoints, incorporating ETM sequencer, counters, and/or subroutine
entry/exit criteria int criteria used to trigger debug entry.

Semihosting enables code running on an ARM target to use the
I/O facilities on the host computer. The target application must
be linked against a library that forwards operation requests by
using the SVC instruction that is trapped at the Supervisor Call
vector by the debugger. The "hosted" library version provided
with CodeSourcery's Sourcery G++ Lite for ARM EABI is one example.
This is currently available for ARM9 processors, but any ARM
variant should be able to support this with little additional work.
Tested using binaries compiled with Sourcery G++ Lite 2009q1-161
and ARM RVCT 3.0.
