	* regcache.c (struct regcache_descr): Add field register_type.
	(init_legacy_regcache_descr): Pass a pre-allocated regcache_descr
	in as a parameter
	(init_regcache_descr): Initialize register_type.  Pass the descr
	to init_legacy_regcache_descr.  Use register_type instead of
	REGISTER_VIRTUAL_TYPE.
	(register_type): New function.
	(regcache_dump): Replace REGISTER_VIRTUAL_TYPE with register_type.
	* regcache.h (register_type): Declare.
