In fact we did this when the= AVX support was added. What you cannot change is the layout of the regist= ers in the various target descriptions, because those define the on-the-wir= e format used in the remote protocol. For the remote protocol, GDB automat= ically does the remapping. For the native debugger you'll have to make sur= e the relevant mappings in the *-linux-nat.c files are updated.
