No, I don't have a schedule, but they should be easy enough for
someone knowledgeable to do.  I can take a best guess at it,
but the real problem is makecontext(3) which isn't as easy
as copying in and out trapframes.

I've got some other changes in libc_r to make it use *context()
first.  I hope to do that in the next week or so.  After that,
I can take a look at sparc64 if noone else has.
