Description

Getting following when trying to build on armhf with go 1.5.1:

Research direction
The build failure is due to undefined symbols 'registers' and 'Regs' in proc/registers.go and proc/threads linux.go on armhf. Investigate how these types are defined for other architectures (e.g., amd64) and add armhf specific definitions. Check the Go source files for other architecture implementations to understand the pattern.
