For clarity, is the new si_xflags field supposed to be valid for all
signal types, or just certain signals and si_codes?
What happens for things like a rt_sigqueueinfo() from userspace?

How did you figure out the list of places to make these changes? I'm
not sure how to confirm that it's exhaustive.
It's a shame if we can't simply apply the change in one place.
Would the refactoring be too invasive to accomplish that?
Cheers
