Ugh. This is very ugly. It's apparently the result of commit
530e5c827182 ("x86/headers: Make sigcontext pointers bit independent")
and apparently nobody noticed the uml fallout.

I've pulled, but I wanted the x86 people involved to be aware of this
ugly corner. I wonder if there might be some way for uml to continue
to use that fpstate entry as a pointer, at least when the wordsize
matches (which it will)?
