This is generic code, what does "non gprs" means for !Intel? Can we come
up with a better, not architecture specific jargon? Or you mean "general
purpose registers"?

Perhaps we can ask for a register mask for use with intr? I.e.:

For the -I/--intr-regs

        uint64_t mask = arch__intr_reg_mask();

And for --user-regs

        uint64_t mask = arch__user_reg_mask();

And then on that loop do:

  	for (r = sample_reg_masks; r->name; r++) {
		if (r->mask & mask))
  			fprintf(stderr, "%s ", r->name);
  	}

?
