Well that'd be nice, but I don't see anywhere that that happens. AFAICT
the acquire we do in the first coredump callback is the first the SPU

userspace accessing spufs files.

Right, I was only thinking about the dumping process itself, but there
may be other processes that still have files open for that context.
