Can't we avoid this patch and the and simplify the change in
exit_to_user_mode_loop() from the next patch? Can't the much more simple
patch below work?

Then later we can even change arch_do_signal() to accept the additional
argument, ti_work, so that it can use ti_work & TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL/SIGPENDING
instead of test_thread_flag/task_sigpending.

Oleg.
