[PATCH] add Altivec/VMX state to coredumps

[Mark Nelson]

Update dump_task_altivec() (that has so far never been put to use)
so that it dumps the Altivec/VMX registers (VR[0] - VR[31], VSCR
and VRSAVE) in the same format as the ptrace get_vrregs() and add
the appropriate glue typedefs and #defines to
include/asm-powerpc/elf.h for it to work.
