We can only request a list of registers once the vCPU has been
initialised so the user needs to use either call the find function on
vCPU initialisation or during the translation phase. We don't expose
the reg number to the plugin instead hiding it behind an opaque
handle. This allows for a bit of future proofing should the internals
need to be changed while also being hashed against the CPUClass so we
can handle different register sets per-vCPU in hetrogenous situations.

Having an internal state within the plugins also allows us to expand
the interface in future (for example providing callbacks on register
change if the translator can track changes).

The main difference to Akikio's version is hiding the gdb register
detail from the plugin for the reasons described above.

A pattern may be convenient for humans but not for machine. My 
motivation to introduce the feature is to generate traces consumable by 
trace-based simulators. Such a plugin needs an exact match of registers.

OK. Another potential consumer I thought about during implementing the
internal API was HMP which would also benefit from a more human wildcard
type search. So I think the resolution of this is having two APIs, one
returning a list of qemu_plugin_reg_descriptor and one returning a
single descriptor only with an exact match.

I thought exposing features and registers in two calls was a bit clunky
though so how about:

  struct qemu_plugin_reg_descriptor *
    qemu_plugin_find_register(unsigned int vcpu_index,
                              const char *name,
                              const char *gdb_feature);

which will only reply on an exact match (although I still think
register names are unique enough you can get away without gdb_feature).

OK I'll get as much as I can merged now and leave the final API bits for
when the tree opens up. I don't suppose you have any idea why:

  target/riscv: Use GDBFeature for dynamic XML

caused a regression? The XML generated looks identical but the
communication diverges with the riscv-csr response:

Was this the reason for the misa_max cleanups?

I don't think qemu_plugin_find_registers() is so versetile that it 
should be a public API. What is appropriate as a user interface depends 
more on the context.

For HMP, it may be better to implement command completion instead of 
having a wildcard. Some may want regular expressions instead of GLib 
patterns. Some may want POSIX-compliant glob instead of GLib-specific 
pattern match (the quirks of GLib pattern is documented at 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/blob/2.78.1/glib/gpattern.c#L33).

I think it's better to expose an array of register names and let the 
plugin do the pattern match in a way appropriate for the specific use case.

> Was this the reason for the misa_max cleanups?

The misa_max cleanups are needed for "gdbstub: Simplify XML lookup", not 
for "target/riscv: Use GDBFeature for dynamic XML".
