Actually it seems to me that this struct is the header of each 
sc_extcontext; i.e. one struct sigcontext with 0~N trailing 
"sc_extcontext", and each "sc_extcontext" consists of one "struct 
_ctxinfo" header plus the real content. For now there's only the FPU 
context but the LSX/LASX/LBT contexts will come later. The "magic" and 
"size" fields also matches the definitions following.

So I'd suggest something like "struct sc_extcontext_head" while naming 
the individual contexts like "struct sc_extcontext_foo", e.g. "struct 
sc_extcontext_fpu". The "sc_extcontext" part could use some further 
abbreviation but the end result should be something intuitive.
