+        * This function is fundamentally broken as currently
+        * implemented.
+        *
+        * The idea is that we want to trigger a call to the
+        * restart_block() syscall and that we want in_ia32_syscall(),
+        * in_x32_syscall(), etc. to match whatever they were in the
+        * syscall being restarted.  We assume that the syscall
+        * instruction at (regs->ip - 2) matches whatever syscall
+        * instruction we used to enter in the first place.
+        *
+        * The problem is that we can get here when ptrace pokes
+        * syscall-like values into regs even if we're not in a syscall
+        * at all.
+        *
+        * For now, we maintain historical behavior and guess based on
+        * stored state.  We could do better by saving the actual
+        * syscall arch in restart_block or (with caveats on x32) by
+        * checking if regs->ip points to 'int $0x80'.  The current
+        * behavior is incorrect if a tracer has a different bitness
+        * than the tracee.
