As an addendum, nothing that wasn't _already_ broken
could _become_ broken since the kernel has always been
passing back a sigcontext for mcontext.
As a closing note, i386 keeps the definitions separate
between kernel and userspace, trying hard to keep both
binary compatible. While ia64 just gaveup and realized
that typdef'ing mcontext to sigcontext and using a
single structure was less maintenance :)
