Hi Paul,

Thanks for looking into it!

Does the following comment above the forest of #ifdef work for you ?

/*
* RSEQ_SIG uses the break instruction. The instruction pattern is:
*
* On MIPS:
* 0350000d break 0x350
*
* On nanoMIPS32:
* 00100350 break 0x350
*
* On microMIPS:
* 0000d407 break 0x350
*
* For nanoMIPS32 and microMIPS, the instruction stream is encoded as 16-bit
* halfwords, so the signature halfwords need to be swapped accordingly for
* little-endian.
*/
Thanks,

Mathieu
