The basic question I'm not sure about is whether we are allowed to increase
the size and alignement of __rseq_abi from e.g. glibc 2.32 to glibc 2.33.
If not, then we just need to find another way to extend struct rseq, e.g. by
adding a pointer to another extended structure in the padding space we
have at the end of struct rseq.

Thanks,

Mathieu
