From: Mark Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Replace NT_PRXFPREG with ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE in the coredump code which
allows for more flexibility in the note type for the state of 'extended
floating point' implementations in coredumps. New note types can now be
added with an appropriate #define.
This does #define ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE to be NT_PRXFPREG in all
current users so there's are no change in behaviour.
This will let us use different note types on powerpc for the
Altivec/VMX state that some PowerPC cpus have (G4, PPC970, POWER6) and
for the SPE (signal processing extension) state that some embedded
PowerPC cpus from Freescale have.

Andrew: if you ack this I can push it through my tree along with the
following patch that adds Altivec/VMX state to core dumps. -- Paul.
