Since this code does hard-code the bit-33 interpretation, I'd rather
not leave it mainstream for long. Do you swear, by penalty of certain
dehairization, that when the bus api enlargements occur, you will
unhackify this component?
Even if yes, code hygiene may make it worth it to identify this
extension with a new component type, such as "sw-debug-gdb-bit33hack",
even if the same (parametrized, inherited, or even completely
identical) C++ code implements both.
