I think this IS a problem. We need a per-process mask.
to block signals that no thread is interested in.
Since M:N threads do not have a kernel thread for each userland thread,
there is nowhere to store this info any more.


I'd be happy to have it be a per-ksegrp mask actually..
(to help deliver the signal to the right group to lower the interaction
between UTS's in different groups.)
