Kevin told me in private that "extant" was actually a word that exists.
I guess I lost my brain when I saw 3 instances of the same word and yet
didn't even flinch at fixing it. In human factors in aviation, this is
called a set mind, IIRC.

Anyway, Kevin thinks that "existent" is actually better, except that
I spelled it wrong, so asked me to fix that. Here is what I just checked
in.

        * rs6000-tdep.c: Use proper spelling for existent.

Sorry about this.

At the risk of bike-shedding...

The fact that "nonexistent" is in regular use doesn't mean that
"existent" is entirely kosher:
http://www.ling.upenn.edu/courses/ling001/mccord.html

In the 'sz' fields, I think "nonexistent" is right: it's zero when the
registers don't exist.

But in rs6000_gdbarch_init, "extant" is a much better word, having the
connotations of "already".

I've committed the attached.
