    The issue was
    1. munmap01 accessed unmapped memory (on purpose) with signal handler
       installed for SIGSEGV
    
    2. The faulting instruction happened to be in Delay Slot
       00011864 <main>:
          11908:	bl.d       13284 <tst_resm>
          1190c:	stb        r16,[r2]
    
    3. kernel sets up the reg file for signal handler and correctly clears
       the DE bit in pt_regs->status32 placeholder
    
    4. However RESTORE_CALLEE_SAVED_USER macro is not adjusted for ARCv2,
       and it over-writes the above with orig/stale value of status32
    
    5. After RTIE, userspace signal handler executes a non branch
       instruction with DE bit set, triggering Illegal Instruction Exception.
