    x86: replace NT_PRXFPREG with ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE #define · 5b20cd80
    Mark Nelson authored
    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.
