I don't really like how the write case has to know about the size of a
register (maybe we could factor this out into a single function for all

I'm not sure of a way to swap the value without knowing its size. In both
read and write, the size needs to be known and is hardcoded in some cases.
The write case cannot know the size without a conditional since we need to
swap in mem_buf before we call ppc_cpu_gdb_write_register. Maybe we could
get around this by hanging ppc_cpu_gdb_write_register so that it returns a
pointer to the register being overwritten, and then we could swap that
instead of mem_buf? But even then I guess we would still need to check the
size of the register before we called bswap32/64.
Well, the easiest way would be to factor out the size from the content reads
and writes. Something like this:
