(Replying to myself, in the hope of better demonstrating the idea)

The following patch implements this idea for RTL dumps, so that all REGNO
values in dumps get a one character prefix: 'h' for hard registers, 'v'
for virtual registers, and 'p' for non-virtual pseudos (making it easier
for both humans and parsers to grok the meaning of a REGNO).

For example, on compiling this:

  int test (int i)
  {
    return i * i;
  }

for target==x86_64, the dump for expand looks like this:

(note 1 0 4 NOTE_INSN_DELETED)
(note 4 1 2 2 [bb 2] NOTE_INSN_BASIC_BLOCK)
(insn 2 4 3 2 (set (mem/c:SI (plus:DI (reg/f:DI v82 virtual-stack-vars)
                (const_int -4 [0xfffffffffffffffc])) [1 i+0 S4 A32])
        (reg:SI h5 di [ i ])) ../../test.c:2 -1
     (nil))
(note 3 2 6 2 NOTE_INSN_FUNCTION_BEG)
(insn 6 3 7 2 (set (reg:SI p89)
        (mem/c:SI (plus:DI (reg/f:DI v82 virtual-stack-vars)
                (const_int -4 [0xfffffffffffffffc])) [1 i+0 S4 A32])) ../../test.c:3 -1
     (nil))
(insn 7 6 10 2 (parallel [
            (set (reg:SI p87 [ _2 ])
                (mult:SI (reg:SI p89)
                    (mem/c:SI (plus:DI (reg/f:DI v82 virtual-stack-vars)
                            (const_int -4 [0xfffffffffffffffc])) [1 i+0 S4 A32])))
            (clobber (reg:CC h17 flags))
        ]) ../../test.c:3 -1
     (nil))
(insn 10 7 14 2 (set (reg:SI p88 [ <retval> ])
        (reg:SI p87 [ _2 ])) ../../test.c:3 -1
     (nil))
(insn 14 10 15 2 (set (reg/i:SI h0 ax)
        (reg:SI p88 [ <retval> ])) ../../test.c:4 -1
     (nil))
(insn 15 14 0 2 (use (reg/i:SI h0 ax)) ../../test.c:4 -1
     (nil))

Note the 'v' prefix here:
  (reg/f:DI v82 virtual-stack-vars)
the 'h' prefix here:
  (reg/i:SI h0 ax)
and the 'p' prefix here:
  (reg:SI p88 [ <retval> ])

Successfully bootstrapped on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.
There are various regression test failures involving scan-rtl-dump
due to regexes not matching e.g.
 PASS -> FAIL : gcc.target/i386/pr20020-1.c scan-rtl-dump expand "\\(set \\(reg/i:TI 0 ax\\)"
 PASS -> FAIL : gcc.target/i386/pr20020-1.c scan-rtl-dump expand "\\(set \\(reg:TI [0-9]* \\[ <retval> \\]\\)"
If the approach is OK, I can do an updated patch that also fixes up the
relevant tests (adding the appropriate prefixes); this would touch
multiple targets.

gcc/ChangeLog:
	* print-rtl.c (print_rtx): When dumping regnos, prefix the
	number with 'h', 'v' or 'p', depending on whether it is a
	hard register, a virtual register, or a non-virtual pseudo.
	* doc/rtl.texi (Registers and Memory): Document the above change,
	adding the prefix to examples that specifically refer to hard or
	pseudo regs in the text.
