One annoying problem is that all target hardware is
not available to all OpenOCD developers.

For development purposes, this could perhaps be
addressed by creating a JTAG over TCP/IP protocol.

The idea is that OpenOCD adds a TCP/IP server
that accepts JTAG commands.

Those with target hardware can then make this hardware
available over the internet.

On the other end an OpenOCD developer uses the
new "tcipip interface" to connect to the target hardware.

This will of course be dog slow, but it hopefully will beat
not having the hardware available....

There is a non-trivial amount of programming that needs
to be done, but I believe setting up and maintaining the
test farm would be a bigger problem. Zylin is interested
in stepping up here and offering the physical space
/ servers required.

I'd expect to make these targets avaiable via SSH & port
forwarding to OpenOCD developers...

Thoughts?
