There are cases where define a global register variable and associate it
with a specified register. Example, in powerpc, two registers are
defined to represent variable:
1. r13: represents local_paca
register struct paca_struct *local_paca asm("r13");

2. r1: represents stack_pointer
register void *__stack_pointer asm("r1");

What about r2:

register struct task_struct *current asm ("r2");

These regs are present in dwarf debug as DW_OP_reg as part of variables
in the cu_die (compile unit). These are not present in die search done
in the list of nested scopes since these are global register variables.
