Re: [GIT PULL] siginfo: ABI fixes for v5.13-rc2

Looking deeper it was discovered that si_trapno is used for only
a few select signals on alpha and sparc, and that none of the
other _sigfault fields past si_addr are used at all.  Which means
technically no regression on alpha and sparc.

If there's no functional regression on any platform, could much of this 
wait until v5.14, or do we want some of these cleanups right now?

The fixes seem to be for long-existing bugs, not fresh regressions, AFAICS. 
The asserts & cleanups are useful, but not regression fixes.

I.e. this is a bit scary:

 32 files changed, 377 insertions(+), 163 deletions(-)

at -rc2 time.
