That's the intent.

If you write __pad = 0, don't set UC_STRICT_RESTORE_SS, and leave cs
set to a 64-bit value, then the kernel will detect that 0 is not a
valid SS and will fix it for you.

If you do write UC_STRICT_RESTORE_SS (e.g. if you saved on a new
kernel and you restore the saved uc_flags), then you'll get a new
signal delivered.

If you're restoring a 32-bit or 16-bit context, then none of the above
applies, but I doubt that CRIU supports that anyway.
