The question is which solution should we adopt.  The patch I posted
fixes
all current problems with have on our hands.  Andreas suggested to move
to
the generic layout of `struct siginfo' which will make future problems
less
likely, but this approach may need additional investigation.

If moving to the generic layout decreases the probability of future
problems,
it's the way to go.

Do we have a patch somewhere?

Here it is, the patch is rather simple.

I'm swamped at the moment, so I'll appreciate if someone verifies that the
kernel runs fine with this patch applied.

Verified and applied. Thanks a lot!
