that would be superb.

hmmm... we could cheat, in a similar way to how gdb itself works: substitute
some instructions, actually execute mfcrf and mfmsr etc. directly putting
the result into a register, read *that*, then restore them afterwards.

or, it could just be that python-gdb doesn't have the capability added yet.

at least however if we can check int registers, then another hack-way to
do it would be to actually add, into the assembly listing being emulated,
the instruction to copy out to RT.  it's a bad hack.
