Historical note: it's this way because the patch predated v6m. We
need to support the v7m name internally for compatibility, but we
can rename the official version if you like.

I can imagine GDB wanting to know about BASEPRI / FAULTMASK. But we
provide the privileged registers in another "feature" today, and use
this core-v7m feature with both v6-m and v7-m. So
'org.gnu.gdb.amr.core-m' instead?
