I'm trying to decide if it will break something.

The old ``remote packet is defined by the layout of the register 
buffer'' problem is lurking ready to strike :-(  This would put the SSE 
registers into the register buffer causing GDB to try to send them to a 
target that, rightly, doesn't expect them (hmm and also doesn't support 
a register-write packet)

It is why I was hacking on remote.c.  I've two more things to do: the 
protocol format command and sort out what ever happend to a 
read-register packet proposal that was posted.
