And how would you name struct crb_regs_h then?

In my opinion PC it makes a lot of sense to speak about registers here
rather than control area now that it is extended to the full range. The
PC Client Specification also speaks about registers.

Backportability is a always a secondary priority for new features albeit
something that can be considered if it doesn't get in the way.
