All architectures that matter do.
Please don't overdesign this, or try to make a problem out of
something that isn't a problem.
Sure, maybe some toy architecture does a 8-byte "get_user()" as a
"copy_from_user()" one byte at a time, because that's the best way to
do unaligned accesses.
But nobody will ever care about rseq on such a thing anyway. Let it go.
