    sys/ia64/ia64        machdep.c syscall.S 
  Log:
  Fix a nasty bug that got exposed when the sendsig() and sigreturn()
  functions switched to using {g|s}et_mcontext(). The problem is that
  sigreturn(), being a syscall, can be given an async. context (i.e.
  one corresponding to an interrupt or trap). When this happens, we
  try to return to user mode via epc_syscall_return with a trapframe
  that can only be used to return to user mode via exception_restore.
  
  To fix this, we check the frame's flags immediately prior to
  epc_syscall_return and branch to exception_restore for non-syscall
  frames. Modify the assertion in set_mcontext() to check that if
  there's a mismatch, it's because of sigreturn().
