Implement ptrace getter/setter interface for syscall user dispatch.
These prctl settings are presently write-only, making it impossible to
implement transparent checkpoint/restore via software like CRIU.

nit: all structures in this header have the ptrace prefix. I think it
is better to add it to this one too.
