[PATCH] Fix hppa_linux_sigtramp_frame_unwind_cache

Hrm, this worries me.

The sigcontext structure looks like this:

struct sigcontext {
    unsigned long sc_flags;
    unsigned long sc_gr[32];
    unsigned long long sc_fr[32];
    unsigned long sc_iasq[2];
    unsigned long sc_iaoq[2];
    unsigned long sc_sar;
};

I am positive that when I wrote this the structure got padded between
sc_gr and sc_fr to keep the unsigned long long at a 8-byte boundary.
If this has changed now that means we've introduced a silent ABI
change....

The SAR stuff looks ok. I'm not very sure about restoring the IPSW either.
