At the risk of asking an obnoxious question here:

It seems to me that a better solution may be for gdb to see the
post-restart-setup state.  In other words, shouldn't the GETREGS
return with the ax pointing to the restart syscall already?

Now maybe this ship has sailed a long long time ago and we can't do
this, but is it at all worth considering?
