    Yes we are. And why it can't work reliably? As to CPU -- we're
    testing that cpu features saved in image should match ones
    provided by the kernel runtime, ie on the machine where we're
    restoring.

    Basically the initial registers values are fetched with ptrace
    when program is been dumped, then on restore we copy them back
    into sigcontext. That said we don't mangle fs/gs anyhow simply
    restore the values back from dump.
