Adding Thomas Gleixner in CC. He has been picking up the rseq bits for
4.18. I've noticed it was rather easier to gather rseq stuff through a
single tree (less chances of confusion).

Also, support for additional architectures (e.g. MIPS) was added to rseq
after rc1. Is it too late to merge arm64 support targeting 4.18 ?

Thanks,

Mathieu
