This is not an issue, if we don't change sigcontext (in kernel and
glibc) - it is essentially the case of existing binaries.
kernel still saves regs on user stack, in rt_sigframe, its just that
userspace is not able to access them in SA_SIGINFO signal handers.
aarch64 have this implemented this approach and it is likely they can't
do that either for SVE regs.
