Yet, you've named the xml files "linux", and, made the default description
assume GNU/Linux osabi. That doesn't look right.

I don't think this is right. What you want to do, is create a
"core" feature, that includes only the set of generic purpose
registers that are always available in all microblaze
configurations. As discussed, rslr and rshr aren't of that
kind. Note that most ports call that feature "core":
$ grep "org.gnu" * | grep cpu
mips-tdep.c: "org.gnu.gdb.mips.cpu");
nios2-tdep.c: feature = tdesc_find_feature (tdesc, "org.gnu.gdb.nios2.cpu");
$ grep "org.gnu" * | grep core
aarch64-tdep.c: feature = tdesc_find_feature (tdesc, "org.gnu.gdb.aarch64.core");
arm-tdep.c: "org.gnu.gdb.arm.core");
i386-tdep.c: feature_core = tdesc_find_feature (tdesc, "org.gnu.gdb.i386.core");
m68k-tdep.c: "org.gnu.gdb.m68k.core");
m68k-tdep.c: "org.gnu.gdb.coldfire.core");
m68k-tdep.c: "org.gnu.gdb.fido.core");
rs6000-tdep.c: "org.gnu.gdb.power.core");
s390-linux-tdep.c: feature = tdesc_find_feature (tdesc, "org.gnu.gdb.s390.core");
tic6x-tdep.c: feature = tdesc_find_feature (tdesc, "org.gnu.gdb.tic6x.core");
Btw, note how feature names are all lowercase, so
"org.gnu.gdb.microblaze"
would be more standard.
Then, you'll want to create another xml description feature for the
C_USE_STACK_PROTECTION microblaze feature, like:
<!DOCTYPE feature SYSTEM "gdb-target.dtd">
<feature name="org.gnu.gdb.microblaze.stack-protect">
<reg name="r0" bitsize="32" regnum="0"/>
<reg name="rslr" bitsize="32"/>
<reg name="rshr" bitsize="32"/>
</feature>
Finally, a machine that has the stack protection feature enabled
can report a description that makes use of xi:include, like:
<!DOCTYPE target SYSTEM "gdb-target.dtd">
<target>
<xi:include href="microblaze-core.xml"/>
<xi:include href="microblaze-stack-protect.xml"/>
</target>
There are several examples of this in the features/ directory.
E.g., see arm-with-vfpv2.xml.

Now here you'll want to guess different descriptions. The second
case should guess a description that doesn't include rslr and
rshr at all.
Formatting isn't following the BTW, coding conventions.
Spaces around '-' missing and statements should indented with
2 spaces, not 6.
