Both. My stepping problem is triggered by wrong $zero value. I tried
with 'set debug remote 1' and found gdb inserted breakpoint at wrong
place when stepping 'beqz' instruction.

The 'that address' means &pt_regs->regs[0] in kernel, right?
I had not noticed that. Thank you. So my patch is not correct.
Maybe the correct fix is clearing register cache in
new_register_cache(). I will try later.
