But even for pin that would need executing 16 bit code, or really weird
32bit code. AFAIK for 32bit the only good use case was NX emulation
(and old virtualization) which are both completely obsolete.

I don't think it's worth messing with the signal handlers for 16bit
code. If there's any problem with saving/restoring state that emulator 
can always handle it by itself.
