This patch sets bound violation fields of siginfo struct in #BR

This patch does't use the generic decoder, and implements a limited
special-purpose decoder to decode MPX instructions, simply because
the generic decoder is very heavyweight not just in terms of
performance but in terms of interface -- because it has to.
My question still stands why using the existing decoder is an issue.
Performance is a complete non issue in case of a bounds violation and
the interface argument is just silly, really.
As hpa said, we only need to decode several mpx instructions
including BNDCL/BNDCU, and general decoder looks like a little
heavy. Peter, what do you think about it?
You're repeating yourself. Care to read the discussion about this from
the last round of review again?
Ok. I will go through it again. Thanks.
