Well. Personally, I like Roland's suggestion more.

How about something like the patch below?

I am not sure how should we check the size, see the comment in
ptrace_regset().

What do you think?

And, I don't understand NOTE_TO_REGSET_TYPE() logic. I mean, I don't know
why we should use "->core_note_type & 0xfff".

Oleg.
