Given the arch-specific reg->blah mapping is so "fun", I guess a generic
fallback would be a good start.

I haven't figured out all the plumbing details. It'd be nice to reuse
the bug infrastructure so that arches don't have to implement another
trap and callback pair, but I guess the reg details need to live in
another data structure.

Thanks,
Mark.
