Your comments about the si_codes caused me to look into how they differ
across the architectures and realize they also all need to be merged
into uapi/asm-generic/siginfo.h for sanity sake. In doing so I found
a couple of minor issues with my other unifications.
Rebased onto my tree your patch looks like the below. If it does not
cause any regressions it looks like a perfect fix. The noticable change
is that the first FPE si_code available across all architectures is 14
so I have used 14 instead of 10 for FPE_CONDTRAP.

Subject: [PATCH] signal/parisc: Add FPE_CONDTRAP for conditional trap handling
Posix and common sense requires that SI_USER not be a signal specific
si_code. Thus add a new FPE_CONDTRAP si_code for conditional traps.
