[omjavaid]

Summary

This patch increases maximum register size to 256 bytes to accommodate AArch64 SVE registers maximum possible size of 256 bytes.

Could we use the kMaxRegisterByteSize here?

Sounds fairly noncontroversial. I don't think we have too many of these objects floating around, but if it turns out we do, we could switch to a SmallVector to optimize for the common case of smaller registers.

how about we stick to uint16_t here ?

An excellent idea.

DataExtractor is used for caching register values on stop by gdb-remote register context. RegisterValue is mostly used for passing around register values temporarily during read/write.
