Hi Gustavo, I don't see anything which should prevent you from doing that.
Probably the first place you should look at is "source/Plugins/Process/Linux/NativeRegisterContext_***". This is the thing which defines what a "register" is and how to read/write it, and it's the main thing you will need to implement.
