SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 2/3] MIPS: Setup an instruction emulation in VDSO protected page instead of user stack

Great!

Could you please clarify how this nesting of emulation blocks could
happen now that signals are handled more cleanly.

I.e. isn't the emuframe stuff only required for instructions in branch
delay slots, and branches shouldn't be in branch delay slots anyway, so
I don't get how they could nest.

Thanks
James
