Thanks for the feedback, Michael. I intend to submit the patches to the
gdb mailing list for review right after the kernel patchset is checked in.

Good point, I hadn't thought about the possible confusion with CR
register (CR doesn't appear in the excerpt because it is just a partial
output of 'info registers all', reduced to the new registers only). As
far as I am aware, we don't have other arches that use 'c' as prefix
(Are there other arches that provide checkpointed registers? s390 gdb
uses 't' as prefix, but for the transactional regs, which would be the
"opposite" of our checkpointed ones here, if I'm not mistaken), but this
can be changed with no difficult in gdb code.

Thanks and regards,
