Jakub Jelinek reported that some user-space code that relies on
kernel headers has built dependency on the sigcontext->eip/rip
register names - which have been unified in commit:

x86: use generic register names in struct sigcontext
so give the old layout to user-space. This is not particularly
pretty, but it's an ABI so there's no danger of the two definitions
getting out of sync.

Switch struct sigcontext (defined in <asm/sigcontext*.h>) to using
register names withut e- or r-prefixes for both 32- and 64-bit x86.
This is intended as a preliminary step in unifying this code between
architectures.
