I probably don't understand how this works. How is the LOC_REGISTER
thing different from the case where the user specifies a certain
register (e.g., when the user wants to change its value)? At any
given point in a debugging session, GDB knows what is the current TOS,
and therefore can map any MMX register to the corresponding ST(i),
right?
