Something I would like to see as decided and not introduced as unnoticed: 1. Whether we want to ship with FPREGS in core(5) notes once we will generate the same data into XSTATE structure. 2. The same for i386, but what to do with XMMREGS? I think it makes sense to generate FPREGS into core(5) files as these fields are negligible in size compared to memory segments... and keeping some symmetry with alive process debugging where FPREGS/XMMREGS will still work; however it would be inconsistent with the lack of XMMREGS for i386. Solutions: 1. Generate XMMREGS notes for i386 2. Stop generating FPREGS notes for i386 and amd64 3. Assume that this is kind of legacy baggage and just add XSTATE next to what we get now.
