Yup.  This makes sure we always install a list of register notes that
matches the target description.

2010-04-09  Mark Kettenis  <kettenis@gnu.org>

	* i386-linux-tdep.c (i386_linux_regset_sections): Remove extended
	register note sections.
	(i386_linux_sse_regset_sections, i386_linux_avx_regset_sections):
	New variables.
	(i386_linux_init_abi): Install list of supported register note
	sections that matches the target description.
