Added Lionel to the To: line so he can look at this, I guess we should
also add an entry to MAINTAINERS so that the reports come to the right
address.

Can we fix the actual problem? It seems to have been there since the
initial submission in 2017.

I guess the right fix is to export the *actual* hardware state into "out"
and read it back from there instead of copying out the rctx struct.
Also .statesize needs to be fixed to correspond to that.
I can just use a roof:ed constant size for this.

If Lionel does not have time to look at it I can try to come up with a
quick fix.
