If not, then we could remove all of these functions (except the `ReadRegisterSet` I suggest above), and inline everything into `NativeRegisterContextNetBSD_x86_64::ReadRegisterSet` (one of these should be renamed, obviously), removing about 5 layers of indirection...

How exactly would that work? If the other architectures follow the pattern of x86_64, then they will also have a `ReadRegisterSet` function, which can be used for reading everything. And doing things this way doesn't force every architecture to fit into predefined set of register sets.

This is your code, so that's ultimately up to you, but I'd try to aim for simplicity first, and if it later turns out to be useful to reintroduce these functions, then so be it...
