Hi,

kill() is currently handled by libcobalt such that PIDs <= 0 are
forwarded to Linux and PIDs > 0 are considered to target only Xenomai
threads. But what if the user wants to address a regular Linux task from
within a Xenomai application? Shouldn't we retry kill via the Linux path
if Xenomai's syscall reports ESRCH?
