Is it really a wise idea to mix this into the signal number? Also this
definition looks odd. If you want the highest bit, you should mention
this explicitely with 1U<<31.

If I see this correctly this information is already covered in si_code
with SI_USER and SI_TKILL. SI_KERNEL is used for explicit kernel
generated signals.

What?

This is not used at all here?
