Huh?  Is CRIU actually trying to build an entire sigcontext from
scratch here?  I don't see how this can reliably work across kernel
versions or CPU versions.

Also, what's up with CPREG1(gs) and CPREG1(fs)?  I assume that's
redundant, because that hasn't worked for many years, but CRIU works,
so there must be correct code somewhere to restore those regs.
