Btw this nstr[notify & ~SIGEV_THREAD_ID] has been always fishy since ~SIGEV_THREAD_ID
doesn't give a proper mask over nstr size :-) It just happen to work but if for some
reason ::it_sigev_notify get screwed we will get a surprise. I think later (not in this
series) we better provide an explicit bitwise mask here.
