Unfortunately, I experimented with something like this some time ago,
and IIRC, it didn't work all architectures, because NGREG is not always
defined in <ucontext.h>, but can be defined in other header files (if I
recall). In the end, I think I ended up with something like the below,
but I don't remember if I tested it in all cases:
