Agreed,

May be we can standardize .si_info within the single arch at least ;)

I never understood what TRAP_HWBKPT/TRAP_BRKPT actually means, and
I can be easily wrong. But, afaics, on x86 PTRACE_SINGLESTEP results
in TRAP_TRACE. Unless the tracee steps over syscall, in this case
user_single_step_siginfo() sets TRAP_BRKPT. Hmm.

And unless I misread 248bed4b0f3c s390 thinks we need TRAP_HWBKPT.
