ksignal changes for 3.9

ksignal changes for 3.9

[Vineet Gupta]

Hi Al,

linux-next contains ksignal conversion for some of the architectures. Are you
planning to complete that in 3.9 merge window. The reason I ask is so that the
newer architectures (arc/metag - for a likely 3.9 merge) can queue the
corresponding changes via respective trees.

Thx,
-Vineet

That's hardly urgent; as far as I'm concerned, ksignal conversion is for 
3.10-rc1.  OTOH, these helpers are for 3.9-rc1, so any architecture that
cares to switch is welcome to it; less work for me that way.  Hell, as
far as I'm concerned, any maintainer of an in-tree architecture who's happy
with arch-$ARCHITECTURE is welcome to say so and pull it into their tree
right now.  That'll bring the stem of signal.git in, complete with ksignal
helpers to play with.  That part is in no-rebase mode.  The same goes for
arc and metag, except that you'd need to pull the branchpoint of arch-*
(signal.git#Base) instead...
