That's a good start, a little blurb on how we do the test is nice too. For our
future selves.

eg. We send ourselves a SIGUSR1, and in the handler we write the illegal MSR
value, then when we return from the signal the kernel should detect that and
kill us with a SIGSEGV.

You're not allowed to call exit() from a signal handler :D

You can call _exit(), I guess you can't just set a flag and return like you'd
normally do in a handler?

On return of what? This handler or sigaction() below ?

I'm not clear why we're setting up the handler for SEGV in the handler for
USR1. Is that required to trip the bug? (not that I understood).

The harness will print a failure message for you, so this is not really
helpful. What is helpful is a message that says *why* it failed. eg: "Expected
to take SEGV but didn't?" or something like that.
