A bit more information that I realized I left out: this series fixes the
behavior for AArch64, ARM and AMD64/i386, because those are the three
architectures I had tests already written for. It shouldn't be too hard
to update other architectures, the slightly more difficult part is to
write a test, since it involves writing assembly and CFI directives, not
something most people do everyday.
