Just for your knowledge, the Eclipse CDT integration of GDB does provide
register groups, but it seems to be done within eclipse.
I didn't work on it myself, but I found this comment:
/**
* For the GDB GDBMI implementation there is only on group. The GPR and FPU registers are grouped into
* one set. We are going to hard wire this set as the "General Registers".
*/
And then everything about register groups is being done without using MI or GDB.
If such an approach is sufficient for you, it would be much easier to get done.
