[uml-devel] [PATCH 03/11] uml: fix signal code x86-64 [for 2.6.15]

["Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso" <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>]

From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>

The problems in this area came to light while fixing a compile failure with
GCC 4, in commit bcb01b8a67476e6f748086e626df8424cc27036d. I went comparing this
code with x86_64 frame construction (which we should ABI compatible with) and
resync'ed the code a bit.

It isn't yet perfect, because we don't yet save floating point context. But that
will come later.

Please give a critical eye, even because things currently have no reported
misbehaviour, and this code is complex enough.
