Well, we might want to build some interfaces like one to pass
siginfo_t.. however I don't think this is that important for core(5)
files as of now to get them just functional. There is already
infrastructure in the kernel for this (as far as I remember we pass it
in p_sigctx) that could be reused in future.
There is certainly room for improvement, but nothing stops us.

Yes, I planned to add it as MD.
In the source code protect it with
#ifdef PT_STEP
PT_STEP:
PT_SETSTEP:
PT_CLEARSTEP:
#endif
I will show a patch tomorrow.
