+ * Test the kernel's signal frame code.
+ *
+ * The kernel sets up two sets of ucontexts if the signal was to be
+ * delivered while the thread was in a transaction.
+ * Expected behaviour is that the checkpointed state is in the user
+ * context passed to the signal handler. The speculated state can be
+ * accessed with the uc_link pointer.
+ *
+ * The rationale for this is that if TM unaware code (which linked
+ * against TM libs) installs a signal handler it will not know of the
+ * speculative nature of the 'live' registers and may infer the wrong
+ * thing.
