Hi Staffan,

Looks good (not a Reviewer). 

Thanks for taking on this cleanup.

Subject: RFR(M): 7165259 Remove BugSpot

Please review the following change to remove the BugSpot UI for the 
Serviceability Agent. My understanding is that BugSpot was intended as a more 
general native debugger not only focused on the JVM, but that it was never 
fully implemented. I don't think there is a need for a general-purpose debugger 
in SA and would like to clean up the code. One effect of this change is that 
PStack and PMap will no longer be able to operate on executables other than the 
JVM.

This change was first proposed last year in this thread: 
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/serviceability-dev/2012-April/005811.html

This change also removes some old JVMDI code in SA (JVMDI is no longer 
supported in HotSpot).
