Yes but we should be careful with asserts (vs if (ri) legs) because I
don't think get_arm_cp_reginfo() guarantees it will always be
successful.

/* must always succeed as we are iterating the keys of cp_regs */
assert(ri);
is enough for a !NULL check.

That said we already have an assert that would fire in
init_cpregs_list():
assert(cpu->cpreg_array_len == arraylen);
so I'm not sure what this is adding to ensuring the contract is kept.
