Could we restore it if we tried?  Sounds like it would be a bit tricky,
given the comment in ia64-linux-nat.c.

What I'm getting at is that this sounds like a legitimate, if not
terribly important, bug found by the test rather than a bug in the
test.  I'm not terribly sure of that though having read a little about
bspstore.  Very confusing.
