There are two problems which the #ifdeffery tackles: how to get PC
from signal state (OS dependent, also arch dependent) and how to
determine whether the access was a write (arch dependent).

Splitting by arch would not help much, but would it make sense to
split by OS and push the pieces to each user emulator? The arch
dependent but OS independent stuff for is_write could be moved to some
common .h file.
