I think I found a way to improve the x32 handling:
This is a simplification over Christoph's "[PATCH 2/7] signal: factor
copy_siginfo_to_external32 from copy_siginfo_to_user32", reducing the
x32 specifics in the common code to a single #ifdef/#endif check, in
order to keep it more readable for everyone else.
Christoph, if you like it, please fold into your patch.
