[PATCH 0/3] Support for arbitrary reggroups

Traditionally registers have been limited to names like "vector",
"general", "system" which are hard coded in the gdbarch. This patch allows
additional reggroups to be defined by the xml target description.

This is necessary for architectures like OpenRISC which have many
registers.

Stafford Horne (3):
reggroups: Add test and docs for `info reg $reggroup` feature
reggroups: Convert reggroups from post_init to pre_init
tdesc: handle arbitrary strings in tdesc_register_in_reggroup_p
