Marcel Moolenaar 1634f50b1b Better define the flags in the mcontext_t and properly set the flags
when we create contexts. The meaning of the flags are documented in
<machine/ucontext.h>. I only list them here to help browsing the
commit logs:
	_MC_FLAGS_ASYNC_CONTEXT
	_MC_FLAGS_HIGHFP_VALID
	_MC_FLAGS_KSE_SET_MBOX
	_MC_FLAGS_RETURN_VALID
	_MC_FLAGS_SCRATCH_VALID

Yes, _MC_FLAGS_KSE_SET_MBOX is a hack and I'm proud of it :-)

/*
* The mc_flags field provides the necessary clues when dealing with the gory
* details of ia64 specific contexts. A comprehensive explanation is added for
* everybody's sanity, including the author's.
*
* The first and foremost variation in the context is synchronous contexts
* (= synctx) versus asynchronous contexts (= asynctx). A synctx is created
* synchronously WRT program execution and has the advantage that none of the
* scratch registers have to be saved. They are assumed to be clobbered by the
* call to the function that creates the context. An asynctx needs to have the
* scratch registers preserved because it can describe any point in a thread's
* (or process') execution.
*
* Below a description of the flags and their meaning:
*
* _MC_FLAGS_ASYNC_CONTEXT
* If set, indicates that mc_scratch and mc_scratch_fp are both
* valid. IFF not set, _MC_FLAGS_RETURN_VALID indicates if the
* return registers are valid or not.
* _MC_FLAGS_HIGHFP_VALID
* If set, indicates that the high FP registers (f32-f127) are
* valid. This flag is very likely not going to be set for any
* sensible synctx, but is not explicitly disallowed. Any synctx
* that has this flag may or may not have the high FP registers
* restored. In short: don't do it.
* _MC_FLAGS_KSE_SET_MBOX
* This flag is special to setcontext(2) and swapcontext(2). It
* instructs the kernel to write the value in mc_special.isr to
* the memory address pointed to by mc_special.ifa. This allows
* the kernel to switch to a new context in a KSE based threaded
* program. Note that this is a non-srandard extension to the
* otherwise standard system calls and use of this flag should be
* limited to KSE.
* _MC_FLAGS_RETURN_VALID
* If set and _MC_FLAGS_ASYNC_CONTEXT is not set indicates that
* the ABI defined return registers are valid. Both getcontext(2)
* and swapcontext(2) need to save the system call return values.
* Any synctx that does not have this flag may still have the
* return registers restored from the context.
* _MC_FLAGS_SCRATCH_VALID
* If set and _MC_FLAGS_ASYNC_CONTEXT is not set indicates that
* the scratch registers, but not the FP registers are valid.
* This flag is set in contexts passed to signal handlers. This
* flag is a superset of _MC_FLAGS_RETURN_VALID. If both flags
* are set, this flag takes precedence.
