Yes, I was thinking about that the other day -- add the S/NS to the
set of things in the hash table key, and have the 32 bit MCR/MRC
code pass in the right value to get the correct banked register out.
(We'd have to make all the non-banked registers go into the
hashtable twice, though, but that's not a big deal I think.)
