I don't think the signal blocking mechanism makes sense for this.
Blocking a signal is for saying that, if another process sends the
signal (or an async event like ctrl-C), then the process doesn't want
it. Blocking doesn't block synchronous things like faults.
I think we need to at least fix the existing bug before we add more
signals. AFAICS the MCE_IN_KERNEL_COPYIN code is busted for kernel
threads.
