Since I am removing the tsk parameter from all of the synchrnous signal
sending functions, on all of the architectures it was easier to go
through my own tree than -tip.

The removal of tsk from force_sig_fault is what caused the warning
in do_sigbus.

My apologies I was a little slow in getting that patch added and
generating work for other folks.
