I'm ok with the patch, but I _hate_ the renaming of "ka" to "ka_copy". 
There's no real point except for the initial change (to make sure the 
compiler warns about any missed entries), and once that has been done it 
just makes the patches horribly noisy and not at all more readable.

As far as I can tell, the patch would be just a few lines long without 
that renaming. Can we _please_ reconsider?
I agree.
Oh, and ia64 suddenly does the "force_sigsegv()" right, while at least the 
regular x86 port is not fixed. Shouldn't we just do the "force_sigsegv()" 
right for everybody, and put that one into kernel/signal.c?
I think this should be a seperate change and not block this one.
