  Compare against the "raw" PC register number instead of the cooked
register number when determining if a register was handled by
PT_GETREGS.  Previously the register fetch/store operations only tried
PT_GETREGS to fetch any individual register.  The result was that
fetching or storing an individual register not covered by PT_GETREGS
(such as floating point registers) did not work.

While here, remove an early exit to simplify the code flow from the
PT_GETREGS / PT_SETREGS case, and add a getfpregs_supplies similar to
getregs_supplies to describe the registers supplied by PT_GETFPREGS
and PT_SETFPREGS.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* mips-fbsd-nat.c (getregs_supplies): Fix upper bound comparison.
	(getpfpregs_supplies): New function.
	(mips_fbsd_fetch_inferior_registers): Remove early exit and use
	getfpregs_supplies.
	(mips_fbsd_store_inferior_registers): Likewise.

Only a few nits.

Can the BSD backend override the pc value in gdbarch_pc_regnum (...) so 
it fits what is expected? Or is this a case where the cooked pc register 
number is still useful and we need to handle things differently for the 
raw pc register number?

Pedantically, "... fetches REGNUM".

With C++ we can leave the declaration closer to its use. Same in the 
other case below.

Does MIPS on fsbd handle vector registers? I ask this because regnum >= 
"fp0 regnum" may mean anything other than general purpose registers.

If there are vector (or higher-numbered registers), the new conditional 
block means something different compared to the old one.

If not, then the change looks sane.

Same as above about declaring something closer to where it is used.

Same thing as above, about higher-numbered registers.

Otherwise i have no further comments.

The cooked value is too large.  In particular, the existing range
right now goes from "0" to "cooked PC" which includes
"raw GP + raw FP + cooked GP".  This means that a request for a raw
FP register will see 'getregs_supplies() return true and will try
to satisfy it via PT_GETREGS (which doesn't work).  The end result is that
the register just isn't found.

Yes, though in this case, gdbarch is actually used sooner than 'pid'.  I
can revert these though.

It does not, but I'm working on a research CPU that is an extension to MIPS
(CHERI) and it uses a third bank of registers that live above 'fp' with
a separate ptrace interface, etc.  I don't know that the CHERI bits will ever
be upstreamed since it is a research design, but this newer check seems
strictly more correct as it only uses PT_GETFPREGS to fetch registers that
are actually supported (e.g. it won't try to use it to fetch fir which
FreeBSD doesn't export via PT_GETFPREGS).

I think that the new conditional is more correct in the case of higher
numbered registers as it means we don't try to use PT_GETFPREGS to
fetch a register it doesn't support.
