Yes.  I can remove the use of m_state_static use at startup -- working
directly with the baseBlock instead -- but not when stopping like this.
In principle I could use the baseBlock directly, but the baseBlock's
layout is more complicated than m_state_static's, which makes it much
harder to copy the values into the registers in vg_startup.S.  It's easier
to copy from the baseBlock into m_state_static, and then into the
registers.

I think it might be broken in general?  Not sure.
