Yes, the code changes would be for gdbserver and gdb. 
I would prefer to keep my kernel code changes to a minimal.

Yes, I agree. Disturbing the .dat file is causing issues in the 
remote protocol. So, using pseudo registers within gdb would be a 
better way to proceed as long as I can get the register numbers to 
match my expedite register numbers.
