Can we make this ELF_CORE_VECREG_TYPE or something that is so coupled

How is "extended floating point registers" x86-specific?
we'll I don't consider the altivec register file as 'extended fp'.
I'm assuming the name XFP came from IA32 land when MMX/SSE came into

ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE is a suitable name for something that's used in

agreed, I think the function name should change as well.
