   NOTE: cagney/2002-08-17: The ``struct value'' and expression
   evaluator treat the register cache as a large liner buffer.
   Instead of reading/writing a register using its register number,
   the code read/writes registers by specifying their offset into the
   buffer and a number of bytes.  The code also assumes that these
   byte read/writes can cross register boundaries, adjacent registers
   treated as a contiguous set of bytes.

   The below map that model onto the real register cache.  New code
   should go out of their way to avoid using these interfaces.

   FIXME: cagney/2002-08-17: The ``struct value'' and expression
   evaluator should be fixed.  Instead of using the { offset, length }
   pair to describe a value within one or more registers, the code
   should use a chain of { regnum, offset, len } tripples.  */

   representations.  Current code does not do this.  Instead, the
