The patch makes sense. I not quite sure about the checkpoint-restore code
that clears the last two entries of the user_auxv[] without knowing how
many aux entries there really are. That seems kind of strange.

I will the patch to our repositories and we'll give it a spin. If there
is no fallout I queue it to linux-s390.
