I don't think I understand the last point.
Anyway, yeah, I'm not sure whether this is worth the effort or not.

Instead of this I think you can associated the Python object with the
gdbarch using gdbarch_data_register_post_init and gdbarch_data. This
will let you attach the Python representation directly to the gdbarch.
It seems I missed a spot when adding registry.h. Oops.
