This makes the SPE register data appear in ELF core dumps,
using the new n_type value NT_PPC_SPE (0x101). This new
note type is not used by any consumers of core files yet,
but support can be added. I don't even have any hardware
with SPE capabilities, so I've never seen such a note.
But this demonstrates how simple it is to export register
information in core dumps when the user_regset style is
used for the low-level code.
