I would prefer it if we didn't, because the monitor should not depend
on target-specifics. So the monitor's interface to the CPU dependent
parts should expose basic "always the same" types, and if a particular
CPU happens to have CPU struct fields which are sometimes 32 bit
and sometimes 64 bit then it has to deal with them itself. (Not every
CPU has that kind of field.)
