Folks... I just committed the following change to the kernel.  It will
allow us to export AltiVec regs via ptrace(2) and procfs.

I will try and look at adding a PT_{GET,SET}ALTIVECREGS for the PowerPC
port within the next week or two.

	syssrc/sys/arch/i386/i386: process_machdep.c procfs_machdep.c
	syssrc/sys/arch/i386/include: ptrace.h reg.h

	syssrc/sys/sys: ptrace.h

Log Message:
* Allow machine-dependent code to specify hooks for ptrace(2)
  (__HAVE_PTRACE_MACHDEP) and procfs (__HAVE_PROCFS_MACHDEP).
  These changes will allow platforms like x86 (XMM) and PowerPC
  (AltiVec) to export extended register sets in a sane manner.

* Use __HAVE_PTRACE_MACHDEP to export x86 XMM registers (standard
  FP + SSE/SSE2) using PT_{GET,SET}XMMREGS (in the machdep
  ptrace request space).
* Use __HAVE_PROCFS_MACHDEP to export x86 XMM registers via
  /proc/N/xmmregs in procfs.
