Even in the routine where half of it is direct registers[] setting?
If that is rewritten, surely it makes sense to access sp that way too.

Without such routine the code would be very ugly:
CORE_ADDR sp = 0;
regcache_collect (SP_REGNUM, ((char *)&sp) + sizeof(CORE_ADDR) - REGISTER_RAW_SIZE(SP_REGNUM));
