There isn't a registers subcommand under maintenance
info but there is a maintenance print raw-registers
command that looks like it gives the desired
information.  It says that ASR and the two placeholder
registers have a size of zero.  So, that would imply
that both the 'G' and 'g' packets would just omit them
all.  However, I do see GDB trying to read these three
registers via the 'p' packet.  In that case, should a
stub reply with an error or an empty response?  It
doesn't seem possible to returns zeroes since there is
no size associated with these registers.

Thanks for the help!
