The same for ia64...

kernel/signal.c: In function 'flush_signal_handlers':
kernel/signal.c:441: error: 'struct sigaction' has no member named
'sa_restorer'

Do we need this in 3.0, 3.4, 3.8 too?

    kernel/signal.c: use __ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER instead of SA_RESTORER

    __ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER is the preferred conditional for use in 3.9 and
    later kernels, per Kees.
