I'd say something like (but, untested and can't test it right now (and no
access to power8 anyway)):

2013-07-15  Jakub Jelinek  <jakub@redhat.com>

	* config/rs6000/rs6000.h (FIRST_PSEUDO_REGISTERS): Mention HTM
	registers in the comment.
	(DWARF_FRAME_REGISTERS): Subtract also the 3 HTM registers.

Thanks for noticing this.

Do we also need to update DWARF_REG_TO_UNWIND_COLUMN similarly, which
also uses FIRST_PSEUDO_REGISTER when the dwarf reg is an SPE synthetic
register?  Or should we just break the dependence on FIRST_PSEUDO_REGISTER
altogether so this type of thing doesn't happen again?  Otherwise, we
should place a comment at the definition of FIRST_PSEUDO_REGISTER
warning of it's use in DWARF_FRAME_REGISTER.

Looks like it.  Guess that "- 1" in there:
#define DWARF_REG_TO_UNWIND_COLUMN(r) \
  ((r) > 1200 ? ((r) - 1200 + FIRST_PSEUDO_REGISTER - 1) : (r))
stands for the sfp register and thus it would be "- 4".

That is surely an option too.  Or use (DWARF_FRAME_REGISTERS - 32)
in the DWARF_REG_TO_UNWIND_COLUMN definition instead of the current
FIRST_PSEUDO_REGISTER - 1, and perhaps make DWARF_FRAME_REGISTERS
just a number (independent on FIRST_PSEUDO_REGISTER).
Guess this depends on what David prefers.
