Hmm, I do.  You're adding a per-architecture data item which is a
function pointer, and what amounts to the rest of what gdbarch.sh would
generate (wrapper functions, default initialization.  I'd rather you
just used gdbarch.sh.

I've no objection.  I would have done something like:

void
gdbarch_dwarf2_frame_init_reg (struct gdbarch *gdbarch,
			       struct dwarf3_frame_state_reg *reg);

  dwarf2_frame_default_init_reg (reg);
  gdbarch_dwarf2_frame_init_reg (gdbarch, reg);

but this is just as good, and we're not _that_ pinched for startup
time.
