Oops.. I'll fix.

This set of macros is really only 32 bit specific since in ptrace 32 we
access the registers as 32 bits (hence needing two accesses to get the
full 64 bits), but in ptrace 64, we access them as 64 bit (hence only 1
access).

Theses macros are really only here to deal with the unique indexing into
the thread struct that we now need to do for ptrace 32 only (thanks to
paulus who pointed out I got this wrong first time).

The only macro here that could potentially be reused is FPRNUMER(i).

Oops, fixed.  

Can you tell I only tested peek not poke user :-D
