How so?  You propose to make all architectures call do_coredump()
themselves, instead of having it done centrally.  It's more boilerplate
for all of them to get wrong.  And IME any boilerplate in that are
*will* be gotten wrong - I've gone through signal handling on all
architectures more than a few times and every time it caught a pile
of bugs...
