The problem is kernel side and not gdb side. I send a patch to the linux-sh
mailing list. They save the dsp register on the stack before the 
processor cpu register
but the offset of the struct is wrong calculated and if the linux kernel 
is compiled
with the dsp option the PEEKUSR return the wrong register value.
