It seems pretty dangerous if some tools use this saved hw context.
Because if the signal handler is handled during a return from a system
call (not from interrupt) then most information in the saved
information are random...
Well maybe we could just make a new version sig context functions
which does not save/restore static registers and make it an disabled
by default. That would let some people to play with and to see if it
break some user tools ?
