We know for sure here that we're not dealing with a cooked register.
Checked in.

* i386-tdep.c (i386_extract_struct_value_address): Use
regcache_raw_read_unsigned instead of
regcache_cooked_read_unsigned since we know that the register
we're reading isn't a pseudo register. Rename variable 'val' into
the more descriptive 'addr'.
