NUMREGBYTES (which is used as the size for gdb_regs[]) is incorrectly based
on DBG_MAX_REG_NUM instead of GDB_MAX_REGS. DBG_MAX_REG_NUM is the number
of total registers, while GDB_MAX_REGS is the number of 'unsigned longs'
it takes to serialize those registers. Since FP registers require 3
'unsigned longs' each, DBG_MAX_REG_NUM is smaller than GDB_MAX_REGS.

This causes GDB 8.0 give the following error on connect:
"Truncated register 19 in remote 'g' packet"

This also causes the register serialization/deserialization logic to
overflow gdb_regs[], overwriting whatever follows.

I pointed some trivial autotests at both gdb-7.12 and gdb-8.0. Results
look good to me!

BTW I noticed that myself and Jason in the only "real people" in
To: . Most arch specific patches end up making their way upstream via the arch maintainer rather than via the kgdb tree so personally I would choose to the arch maintainers in the To: field as well.

I certainly think you will have to follow up via Russell King's patch tracker once you think its had enough time on the ML for review.
