This mostly looks fine to me now. The only remaining concerns I have are
about FP support (currently you just return zeroes for the simd register
file) and the limited BUFMAX definition (the register file with simd is
around 800 bytes afaict, and that's before you add the GDB packet
information and checksums).

What's the plan on sorting those out?
