This series converts powerpc architecture signal handling to scoped user access and enlarges some of the block accesses to minimise the number of times user access has to be opened and closed.
As mentioned in individual patches, some bring real performance improvement. This series is built from previous series [1] which predates implementation of scoped user access.
