Unfortunately i don't think there is a good way to achieve this with the 
current implementation.

You could teach GDB about the quirks in the architecture, but it sounds 
better to have a more general solution.

I'm working on making this more flexible though, since i have a need to 
make the architecture information per-thread, at least the target 
description with the registers and types.

But no ETA yet.
