"deliver" here I mean get_signal_to_deliver()...
Please clarify, in ptrace_notify code path, is it allowed that ptraced
thread can ignore signals (such as SIGTRAP) without telling debugger
what happened? This is key problem I'm not quite sure... Because if
the test doesn't block SIGTRAP, it works on IA64 too.. Hope I have
made the problem clear...
