/**
* Facilities for remote debugging of the Maxine VM, including:
* <ul>
* <li>extraction of thread, register, stack, thread local blocks, and native library state;</li>
* <li>basic process controls;</li>
* <li>"target breakpoint (machine-level) creation and management;</li>
* <li>"bytecode" breakpoint (deferred, set on unloaded methods) creation and management;</li>
* <li>worker thread for dequeuing process execution requests; and</li>
* <li>watchpoints, both "native" (on a fixed memory location) and "object" (on a field in a specific object instance,
* following object relocation).</li>
* </ul>
* <p>
* Depends partially on the VM class {@link com.sun.max.vm.tele.InspectableCompilationInfo}.
* <p>
* The abstract class {@link com.sun.max.tele.debug.TeleProcess} manages most of these services, with platform-specific
* concrete classes supplying very minor specializations.
