Well, once you support regsets, the PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET commands will start working. However, on platforms that already had commands to access registers, platform-specific code will of course need to continue to support those. See e.g. arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c, which by now implements all of its legacy ptrace register commands in terms of regset functions.
