It feels like x86 is doing some things via arch_prctl() rather than
implementing specific ptrace() interfaces for them, there's a lot of
stuff where ptrace isn't a great fit for due to it's concept that it's
going to work with an array of registers so that's understandable.

I don't have a strong enough opinion on it to start working on it
immediately at any rate.
