Are these note definitions centrally defined anywhere? I looked at the
include/elf/common.h in gdb, but it seemed fairly similar to linux/elf.h.

Both sh and mips would benefit from a note type for DSP registers. Would
something like an NT_PRDSPREG be accetable for this? Also, the note
definitions seem to have hopped from 4 to 6, is there a definition for 5,
or can that be used for a DSP register note type?
