In re. your other question:

No, CSRs are not specified as memory-mapped (an implementation may
choose to do so), even in Debug Mode.

The Debug Module (not the CPU) has an 'Access Register' abstract
command (see Sec. 3.6.1 "Access Register" section of the Debug Module
Spec) where it uses an Abstract Register Number to name all GPRs, FPRs
and CSRs (see Table 3.3 in the Debug Spec). 0x0000-0x0FFF are used for
CSRs, 0x1000-0x101F for GPRs, and 0x1020-103F for FPRs.  This is not a
'memory-mapping' of CSRs, just the internal Debug Module (and GDB's)
convention on how to name all registers.
