This commit introduces support for the NT_PPC_DMR note type in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library and the readelf utility. This new note type is intended to carry the contents of the Dense Math Registers (DMR), which will be available on a future PowerPC processor. This lays the groundwork for handling core dumps from systems using this new register set.
