This is a good addition!

Since orig_a0 is no longer at the bottom of pt_regs, MAX_REG_OFFSET is
now incorrect.

Can you adjust the value of:

#define MAX_REG_OFFSET offsetof(struct pt_regs, orig_a0)

in arch/riscv/include/asm/ptrace.h to be:

#define MAX_REG_OFFSET offsetof(struct pt_regs, cause)

This is something that is very easy to miss. I think it would be
valuable to leave a comment at the top of struct pt_regs pointing out
that MAX_REG_OFFSET needs to be adjusted if struct pt_regs changes.
