No but it will involve more fiddling when we copy them into the CPU
context which keeps everything as 64 bit aligned. Of course if we want
to remove the debug registers from the context and put a pointer in
place then this is fairly moot as we will need to change the hyp.S code
that copies the registers during the world switch. I was trying to
minimise the amount of change to the assembler in this series.

OK.
