These 2 fields track whether user process has used Altivec/VSX registers
or not. They are used by kernel to setup signal frame on user stack
correctly regarding vector part.
CRIU(Checkpoint and Restore In User space) builds signal frame for
restored process. It will need this export information to setup signal
frame correctly. And CRIU will need to restore these 2 fields for
the restored process.
