Note that changing the layout of 'struct fpreg' and what fill_fpregs
and set_fpregs do does change the layout of the .reg2 coredump note
and what happens for PT_[GS]ETFPREGS for ptrace(2).  That said, GDB
at least ignores all that since it is known to be useless.  I haven't
checked LLDB, but it likely doesn't care about the old interfaces
either.  Maybe at least a RELNOTES entry and __FreeBSD_version bump
in case it is problematic in the future?

FYI, this was a style regression here and elsewhere in the commit.
