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.
