I don't think there'd be a problem with that.  gdbserver can continue
fetching whatever it needs from the kernel using the ptrace registers
api, but that'd remain hidden from gdb (or the remote protocol).  Getting rid
of the fdpic pseudo registers from the core register set also presumably
unifies the gdb core register set with an eventual bare metal bfin
toolchain (btw, isn't there such a thing?) or any other eventual
non-fdpic bfin toolchain.
