The test "were we from a system call ?" is implemented differently on
the s390, for example. Compare the code in handle_signal(), whose logic
I follow.

So the code above is similar to that in handle_signal() of x86_32 arch.
The same code in other architectures looks differently, and I didn't
investigate whether the code in other architectures can be transformed
to a common form.
