I'm not a monitor maintainer, but I think it's okay since there is
none. :)

We probably should replace target_monitor_defs() with an implementation
of target_get_monitor_def on all targets.  It can just pass a MonitorDef
array to a common function, i.e.

int lookup_monitor_def(MonitorDef *def, void *base, const char *name, uint64_t 
*pval)

static int target_get_monitor_def(CPUState *cs, const char *name, uint64_t 
*pval)
{
    return lookup_monitor_def(monitor_defs, cs->env_ptr, name, pval);
}

I don't want you to do it now, but we should add it to the wiki
BiteSizedTasks so we don't forget.
