Looks like we have to revert that commit.
Moving everything to siginfo_t requires a non-trivial header cleanup
and may introduce new regressions.

Matthew, does the attached revert patch help?

If yes, I'll submit it ASAP to Linus and for 3.8 we cleanup the UML
headers and reintroduce commit d3c1cfc.

Thanks,
