Right, it's just the two element array in the signals code and the one
element for the context token in map_shadow_stack(). I can refactor to
a single read/write operation, I'd originally written it that way but I
wasn't thrilled with either writing a load of fun macros to mirror the
way vanilla put_user() is written or having code that looked very
different to the other similarly named functions were done.
