signals: demultiplexing SIGTRAP signal
Currently a SIGTRAP can denote any one of below reasons.
- Breakpoint hit
- H/W debug register hit
- Single step
- Signal sent through kill() or rasie()
Architectures like powerpc/parisc provides infrastructure to demultiplex
SIGTRAP signal by passing down the information for receiving SIGTRAP through
si_code of siginfot_t structure. Here is an attempt is generalise this
infrastructure by extending it to x86 and x86_64 archs.
