Ah, indeed I see it there now...

Alright, that's the place to flush it then. It's just like
the registers_changed calls in linux-nat.c, whenever the
target resumes the thread behind the core's back:
registers_changed ();
if (linux_nat_prepare_to_resume != NULL)
linux_nat_prepare_to_resume (lp);
linux_ops->to_resume (linux_ops, pid_to_ptid (ptid_get_lwp (lp->ptid)),
lp->step, GDB_SIGNAL_0);
etc.

Thanks.
