Yah.  This isn't hard, and indeed, most of the work is already done.

It already has to adjust the SP going into the signal handler.  That's
just one extra operation.

IT already has to make sure it's restored (or set to whatever's in the
context left by the handler) going out of the signal handler, and I
don't think that'd have to be changed at all.
