It isn't necessary, just like register convertible and register
raw/virtual size; .... that go before it, also were not necessary. And
now all these years later, GDB is still yet to expunge.

Until someone does the right think - add support for values scattered
across registers and memory - hacks should be confined to architecture
specific code.
