The few odd drivers are nbd, jffs2 and the usb mass storage gadget.
All of these have in common that they try to handle signals in a kernel
thread (which we don't even allow by default), and that they ignore the
siginfo. I think they could mostly be replaced by an addition to the
kthread API to allow a kthread to be killed by signals for legacy
reasons.
