So the function name suggests this is called for interrupts, except its
purpose is to deliver a signal.

Fair point.  I'll name it task_isolation_deliver_signal() in the next patch series.

Now, in case of exceptions the violation isn't necessarily _by_ the task
itself. You might want to change that to report the exception
type/number instead of the affected task.

Well, we do report whatever exception information we have.  For example
a page fault exception will report the address or whatever other info is
handy; it's easy to tune since it's just a vsnprintf of some varargs from the
architecture layer.

For things like IPIs or TLB invalidations or whatever, the code currently just
reports "interrupt"; I could arrange to pass down more informative varargs
from the caller for that as well.  Let me look into it.
