Walfred,

The only thing I'm still somewhat unhappy about the fact that this
introduces the "bndNraw" register names in addition to the "bndN"
names.  I think having both the "raw" and "cooked" variants present in
GDB's user interface will be confusing.  But it is hard to decide what
the right interface is for a feature that isn't available in hardware
yet and people don't really have any experience with debugging code
that uses MPX.
