That is a very interesting point. I recall that when I did some work programming directly to a processor in Assembly, while using the debug mode I was able to break the execution and change any register to another value and then resume it. I know that this was just a school project and the processor I used isn't as complex as an AMD processor is but if the same principle applies, then your comment makes a very good point.
