- Unfortunately, thanks to some legacy architectures, this doesn't

- (see MIPS). Such architectures should be using different register
- numbers for the different sized views of identical registers.

- Anyway, the up-shot is that, until that mess is fixed, core code
- can end up being very confused - should the RAW or VIRTUAL size be
- used? As a rule of thumb, use DEPRECATED_REGISTER_VIRTUAL_SIZE in
