Actually, this isn't a strict description of what happens (though the 
result is pretty much the same).  What really happens is that 
write_register_byte will then call write_register_gen for each register 
that returns a REGISTER_BYTE() address in the same range.  The result is 
that write_register_bytes calls

	write_register_gen(PC, newval)
	write_register_gen(CPSR, newval)

which is still equally bogus.
