You have this assembly sequence:

stp	 x0,   x1, [%3, #16 *  0]
[...]

where %3 itself is one of the x[0..30] registers. So you are saving
things that have already been corrupted by the saving procedure. Not
sure how useful that is, but as I said, maybe it is not supposed to be
completely accurate.

smp.c only reads from in_crash_kernel (at least from what I can see in
this patch), so it should be able to use the accessor.
