My goal with librseq is indeed to provide static inlines
which hide the architecture-specific ugliness of rseq
critical section assembly code behind an API which can be
used from all supported architectures for most of the
known use-cases, so only very specific use-case would
have to craft their own assembly.

Thanks,
