So I am looking at this and am wondering if the enums should be:

enum x86_32_regset {
REGSET32_GENERAL,
REGSET32_FP,
REGSET32_XFP,
REGSET32_XSTATE,
REGSET32_TLS,
REGSET32_IOPERM32,
};

enum x86_64_regset {
REGSET64_GENERAL,
REGSET64_FP,
REGSET64_IOPERM64,
REGSET64_XSTATE,
};


That is named in such a way that it emphasizes that the difference is
the architecture. Otherwise it reads like the difference is the size of
the registers in the regset. I am pretty certain that in your
REGSET_FP32 and REGSET_FP64 all of the registers are 80 bits long.
