this seems to break userspace abi.
glibc and musl have or1k abi without this field.
either this is a new abi where binaries opt-in with some marking
and then the base sigcontext should be unmodified,
or the fp state needs to be added to the signal frame in a way that
does not break existing abi (e.g. end of the struct ?) and also
advertise the new thing via a hwcap, otherwise userspace cannot
make use of it.
unless i'm missing something.
