I think this should be harmless, but I'm not sure we even
need the structure in a uapi header: about half the architectures
define this in a user-visible way, while the others don't.

On csky, powerpc and microblaze, pt_regs is used inside
of the 'struct sigcontext' definition, but I don't think
this was ever the case on m68k.

The other one that is accessed in userspace is 'struct
user_regs_struct', but this one is actually not in the
uapi headers on m68k or x86.
