[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] target/xtensa: handle unknown registers in gdbstub

[Max Filippov <jcmvbkbc@gmail.com>]

Xtensa cores may have registers of types/sizes not supported by the
gdbstub accessors. Ignore writes to such registers and return zero on
read, but always return correct register size, so that gdb on the other
side is able to access all registers in the packet holding unsupported
registers in the middle. This fixes gdb interaction with cores that have
vector/custom TIE registers.
