This approach looks like it works, though I still think adding an option
for this under PTRACE_SETOPTIONS would be less intrusive.

Adding a shadow regset like this also looks like it would cause the gp
regs to be pointlessly be dumped twice in a core dump.  Avoiding that
might require hacks in the core code...

If we go with this approach, "REGSET_GPR_RAW" might be a preferable
name.  Both regs represent all the regs ("full"), but REGSET_GPR is
mangled by the kernel.

Similarly, something like NT_ARM_PRSTATUS_RAW or similar.

What happened to 0x40a..0x40f?
