To clarify:
With this patch each register is printed like this:
(gdb) info reg vr0
vr0            {uint128 = 0x00000000000000000000000000000000, v4_float = {0x0, 
    0x0, 0x0, 0x0}, v4_int32 = {0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0}, v8_int16 = {0x0, 0x0, 
    0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0}, v16_int8 = {0x0 <repeats 16 times>}}

while w/o the patch:
(gdb) info reg vr0
vr0            {uint128 = 0x00000000000000000000000000000000, v4_float = {0x0, 
    0x0, 0x0, 0x0}, v4_int32 = {0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0}, v8_int16 = {0x0, 0x0, 
    0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0}, v16_int8 = {0x0 <repeats 16 times>}} {
  uint128 = 0x00000000000000000000000000000000, v4_float = {0, 0, 0, 0}, 
  v4_int32 = {0, 0, 0, 0}, v8_int16 = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}, 
  v16_int8 = '\0' <repeats 15 times>}


I will check this in later today, if there are no objections.
