+ * signal was raised.  If signal delivery required switching to an alternate signal stack
+ * (sc_rbs_base is not NULL), the "dirty" partition (as it would exist after executing the
+ * imaginary "cover" instruction) is backed by the *alternate* signal stack, not the
+ * original one.  In this case, sc_rbs_base contains the base address of the new register
+ * backing store.  The number of registers in the dirty partition can be calculated as:
+ *
+ *   ndirty = ia64_rse_num_regs(sc_rbs_base, sc_rbs_base + (sc_loadrs >> 16))
