FWIW, the GDB fix I would recommend here would be to not report
registers with empty names to the frontend. We've made register
numbering more flexible in the last few releases and should be able to
get away with that now. Otherwise, Dmitry's suggestion makes sense;
never query for such registers, until GDB is fixed.
