I found the comment above a little confusing, since the if condition
actually checks that low bits aren't set at all. Perhaps reword to
something like "The token value of a signal cap must be 0"?

At this point, there's an inactive but valid cap just below the GCS.
Over time, as different signals are received when the GCSPR is pointing
at different locations of the stack, there could be a number of valid
inactive caps available for misuse.

I'm still not proficient enough in GCS to know how exactly this could be
abused (e.g., somehow writing the desired return location right above
one of these inactive caps and arranging for GCSPR to point to the cap
before returning from a signal) but to be safe or paranoid, perhaps zero
the location of the cap before returning?

The ksig argument is unused, so it can be removed.

Since the ksig argument isn't used by gcs_signal_entry(), setup_return()
can keep the ka argument and the changes below from ka to ksic->ka are
unnecessary.

This is #include isn't needed by this patch. Probably better as part of
another one.
