140
141 Unfortunatly, thanks to some legacy architectures, this doesn't
142 hold. A register's cooked (nee virtual) and raw size can differ
143 (see MIPS). Such architectures should be using different register
144 numbers for the different sized views of identical registers.
145
146 Anyway, the up-shot is that, until that mess is fixed, core code
147 can end up being very confused - should the RAW or VIRTUAL size be
148 used? As a rule of thumb, use REGISTER_VIRTUAL_SIZE in cooked
149 code, but with the comment:
