Returning NULL should be fine.

The generic code will cope OK. The values in the f.p. registers may
act a little odd if gdb uses a 'G' packet to set them to non-zero values
(since kgdb will cache the values gdb sent it) but the developer
operating the debugger will probably figure out what is going on without
too much pain.
