The gpr-num infrastructure requires users to concatenate the register name with a long prefix in order to get a symbol that evaluates to a compile-time constant. Doing this manually is error-prone and painful to read. Add a new __GPR_NUM() helper which wraps the concatenation. For the moment I've left existing open-coded concatenation as-is. In particular, the DEFINE_MRS_S() and DEFINE_MSR_S() macros have awkward stringification requirements and would require invasive changes that outweigh the benefit. I have plans to rework those in the near future to remove the need to use gpr-num values.
