It is my guess that the majority of the flakiness with the
linux-user signals.c test is due to a race condition between
translation and page writes.  I vaguely recall a bug report
about this, but I cannot find it now.

Since the vast majority of "self-modifying code" is due to
signal delivery, work around this by allocating a new page,
into which we write the signal handlers.

A better workaround would be to implement the vdso that is
required by many guests.  However, that is a much larger
problem, and some guests do not define a vdso in upstream
linux.  This serves as a decent fallback.

Neither bit of work, I will note, solves the posited race
condition described above.

Changes for v2:
  * Add r-b tags
  * Split arm v2_frame patch (phil)
  * Split mips install_sigtramp patch (phil)
  * Fix some arithmetic in a couple of setup_sigtramp (phil)
