This patch allows the len and offset in part 3 to be unsigned.
... However looking again at part 3, I’ve lost the unsigned parts!
It was meant to be:

+void
+reg_buffer::raw_collect_part (int regnum, unsigned int offset, unsigned int len,
+ gdb_byte *out) const

I then didn’t need the asserts in raw_collect_part and transfer_regset used
unsigned ints.

When I repost part 3, I’ll make sure it has these additions.

I originally wrote this for just the _part functions and then I rejected
it. The problem as I see it with this is that, mostly all the code calling
these functions today are using ints.

So, to keep it safe we should really update all the callers too. For example,
one picked at random:

--- a/gdb/m32c-tdep.c
+++ b/gdb/m32c-tdep.c
@@ -443,9 +443,9 @@ m32c_find_part (struct m32c_reg *reg, int *offset_p, int *len_p)
bits, read the value of the REG->n'th element. */
static enum register_status
m32c_part_read (struct m32c_reg *reg, readable_regcache *cache, gdb_byte *buf)
{
- int offset, len;
+ unsigned int offset, len;

memset (buf, 0, TYPE_LENGTH (reg->type));
m32c_find_part (reg, &offset, &len);
return cache->cooked_read_part (reg->rx->num, offset, len, buf);

And without checking, I’m not sure m32c_find_part can guarantee unsigned.

Without those changes all we are doing is losing some assert protection.
