ARM and virtual/raw registers

Hmm, I think this is effectively what I have. See the code below (which is 
very much a work-in-progress..., so don't even expect it to compile ;-)

 However, in this situation, 
pseudo_rengo("r0") != regcache_regno("r0"), yet we effectively have

REGSITER_RAW_SIZE (pseudo_regno ("r0")) 
and
REGISTER_RAW_SIZE (regcache_regno ("r0"))
