They weren't; at the time I made them, we had the glorious state of
affairs where none of the Linux targets had unique register mappings. 
At least, I still believe that.  orig_eax came along later and put the
lie to that...  I still feel like there should be a better solution;
but that will require some thinking about the remote protocol, and can
wait.

The new register file conveniently snuck in just under the 8.3 ARI
limit, too :)
