I'm checking this in (indented slightly different) (just got to wait for
a build).
I'm pretty sure it will affect GDBs ability to communicate with some
obscure remote target (what register_raw_size() returns changed :-/)
however, as it was it was certainly wrong.

Thanks!

PS: Have I ever mentioned my desire to completly separate remote.c from
register_raw_size() and instead have something outside of GDB specifying
what a packet looks like? :-)
