ARM register names...

[George France]

Hello Scott;

You may find it a little odd but having register dumps that match the ARM
documentation is more useful in my humble opinion than gcc standard.

Hi Nick,

I'd like to propose the following patch to allow the tools to default to the
same register set that GCC uses by default.  Most of the assembly code in
gcc,
glibc and bfd uses this register set, and I find dumps using the standard
set a
little odd.

	* arm-dis.c (regnames): Add an additional register set to match the
set used by
	gcc.  Make it the default.
