It's .reg-xfp; created by bfd/elf.c:elfcore_grok_prxfpreg.

No point testing gdbarch for NULL; it won't be.  Also, I think
gdbarch_regset_from_core_section_p is enough.  If that returns NULL,
then skip the regset.  We don't need to cater to incomplete
implementations of the core functions.

Oh, and GDB prefers not to use assignments in if statements.

But otherwise, yeah, this is what I had in mind.  Thanks.
