Thanks Markus,
That would be fantastic.
FYI, Per bugs #2108, Alex created the getContext.S function a few months ago:
http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~alexh/0001-getcontext-x86_64-implementation.patch

It was never committed, and probably not tested, but you might
be able to compare it to your version.
