I wonder if we are going to have to make this gdbarch specific,
one of these days. It's probably peanuts, but it's annoying to be
allocating 64byte buffers to store/fetch registers when the max
size on that platform is 8 or 16 bytes.
In the meantime, seems OK to me (for HEAD). I'm OK with putting
this in 7.2, but I'd like the OK from another maintainer before
you put it in 7.2, just to be on the safe side [1].

[1]: It's still unclear whether there will be another release off
the 7.2 branch. I think something to be re-evaluated later,
around Oct/Nov. Perhaps we can informally talk about it at
the GCC Summit?
