The VFP registers are not currently included in coredumps,
and there's no existing note type where they can sensibly be
included, so this patch defines a dedicated note type for them.

This probably wants to be copied to LKML (added).

Good point-- thanks.

What news on this?

None whatsoever.  Do you think I need to push harder for feedback?

I think that the patch should just be merged.  If someone had a problem 
with this, we would have heard about it by now.

Agreed. Uli and other toolchain people are waiting for this to get merged,
so we can put the ABI into gdb releases. It's definitely useful, and I couldn't
find anything wrong with it (but don't have much experience with ptrace).
