x0, x1 ... are the current values in panic(), and not the exact cpu contexts
at the place we are really interested in.
We have no way here in panic() to know them, but sp and pc would still be useful
for back-tracing in later investigation of dump file.
Please note that the same problem exists on arm (and x86) implementation.

Only if we define the accessor as a real function, not an inline function in a header :)
