The next part here says:

        if (who < 0) {                                                          
                type = PIDTYPE_PGID;                                            
                who = -who;                                                     
        }                                                                       

Won't this break the ability to pass in a pgid? Valid negative values
will end up getting back -EINVAL here, AFAICT.
