GDB currently has a conflict here.  GCORE should definitly use 
regcache_raw_read, but that still leaves the ptrace code writing back 
register values - it uses regcache_collect.  Hmm, perhaphs it two should 
be using a regcache_raw_read anyway - might even make it possible to 
eliminate "target_prepare_to_store"?

I like the use of BFD's names.
