Which is just obviously insane and buggy as with that code the same
cache slot will be used for 256 different registers that differ only in
the upper byte.

Which is exactly what we'd expect - we won't have allocated a cache
beyond register reg_cache_size and the driver is telling us not to cache
those registers.

I don't see any problem here.  What is the problem you're experiencing?
