Yes. Your RegisterContext subclass needs to override:
virtual const RegisterInfo *
GetRegisterInfoAtIndex (size_t reg) = 0;
So you can just return the correct RegisterInfo that contains "4" or "8" as the
RegisterInfo.byte_size by grabbing using the m_thread to get to the process and
somehow read the MSR and return the correct one dynamically.
