+ * Generic ptrace interface that exports the architecture specific regsets
+ * using the corresponding NT_* types (which are also used in the core dump).
+ *
+ * This interface usage is as follows:
+ * struct iovec iov = { buf, len};
+ *
+ * ret = ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGSET/PTRACE_SETREGSET, pid, NT_XXX_TYPE, &iov);
+ *
+ * On the successful completion, iov.len will be updated by the kernel,
+ * specifying how much the kernel has written/read to/from the user's iov.buf.
