A long time ago when gem5 just supported Alpha, there were three types of registers, integers, floats, and everything else. The "everything else" were essentially control registers, or in other words registers which had side effects from accessing them. They were called "Misc" for miscellaneous since they were the left overs if you took away the ints and the floats. There are more types of registers now, but the control registers are still called "Misc".
