Since this defines part of the ABI, it would be nice if it's possible
to have it in a platform independent way. Most of the registers here
should probably become "unsigned long" instead of "__u32" so that
the definition can be used for a potential 64 bit port.

Also, I noticed that you lump everything into kvm_regs, instead of
using sregs for stuff like srr0 and kvm_fpu for the fprs. What is
the reason for that?
