I'm not sure if you're agreeing or not.  I think I made the change to
mi_cmd_data_list_register_values which broke the test for sparc.  As I ran
the testsuite on i386, I saw no failures of course.  Clearly tests which
check the registers are internally consistent and sane for all architectures
are desirable.  Since no-one is offering to do that shall I try to write a few
generic ones as suggested above?
