Looks good in general. As a suggestion: On ia64 the context is
128-bit aligned due to having FP registers. I would suggest to
order the structs so that both the context and sigset_t are
16-byte aligned on 64-bit platforms.
Alignment of sigset_t to 16 bytes allows machines that have
16-byte atomic operations to read/write the sigset_t atomically.
