So, these dsp registers on bare metal target have different layout from
them on linux target, the stub should send the org.gnu.gdb.mips.dsp
feature with some different "regnum", is that correct? On linux target,
gdbserver sends
<feature name="org.gnu.gdb.mips.dsp">
<reg name="hi1" bitsize="32" regnum="72"/>
...
</feature>
on bare metal target, the stub should send
<feature name="org.gnu.gdb.mips.dsp">
<reg name="hi1" bitsize="32" regnum="73"/>
...
</feature>
is it right?
