The gdb 7.6 on amd64 displays all representations of the xmm registers,
as well as decodes the mxcsr bits:
xmm0 {v4_float = {0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0}, v2_double = {0x0, 0x0},
v16_int8 = {0x0 <repeats 16 times>}, v8_int16 = {0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0,
0x0, 0x0, 0x0}, v4_int32 = {0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0}, v2_int64 = {0x0, 0x0},
uint128 = 0x00000000000000000000000000000000}
...
mxcsr 0x1f80 [ IM DM ZM OM UM PM ]
I did not verified if the last gdb learned to display YMM on AVX-capable
kernels, both for 32 and 64 bits.
