This rseq helper library provides a user-space API to the rseq()
system call.

The rseq fast-path exposes the instruction pointer addresses where the
rseq assembly blocks begin and end, as well as the associated abort
instruction pointer, in the __rseq_table section. This section allows
debuggers may know where to place breakpoints when single-stepping
through assembly blocks which may be aborted at any point by the kernel.
