Is this the code snippet which would get it done ?  function is:
'get_core_registers'

get_core_register_section (regcache,
			     ".reg", 0, "general-purpose", 1);
  get_core_register_section (regcache,
			     ".reg2", 2, "floating-point", 0);
  get_core_register_section (regcache,
			     ".reg-xfp", 3, "extended floating-point", 0);
  get_core_register_section (regcache,
  			     ".reg-ppc-vmx", 3, "ppc Altivec", 0);
  get_core_register_section (regcache,
			     ".reg-ppc-vsx", 4, "POWER7 VSX", 0);
