I read it differently:

The <signal.h> header shall define the siginfo_t type as a structure,
which shall include at least the following members:

int           si_signo  Signal number. 
int           si_code   Signal code. 
int           si_errno  If non-zero, an errno value associated with 
                        this signal, as described in <errno.h>. 
pid_t         si_pid    Sending process ID. 
uid_t         si_uid    Real user ID of sending process. 
void         *si_addr   Address of faulting instruction. 
int           si_status Exit value or signal. 
long          si_band   Band event for SIGPOLL. 
union sigval  si_value  Signal value. 


This is from:

I think we should modify the test to use RAS_START() and RAS_END() to verify
the faulting code address and ignore the associated data address.
