I like the idea of removing FIRST_PSEUDO_REGISTER from the definition
of DWARF_REG_TO_UNWIND_COLUMN.  I'll still let David decide whether
he wants DWARF_FRAME_REGISTERS to be just a number of computed off
of FIRST_PSEUDO_REGISTER.  In the meantime, I'll bootstrap and
regtest your patch along with the DWARF_REG_TO_UNWIND_COLUMN
change.

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