Implement sending signals to blocked-in-kernel processes.
This is dirty but pretty cool! If we have a pending, unmasked signal for
a process that's blocked inside the kernel, we set up alternate stacks
for that process and unblock it to execute the signal handler.
A slightly different return trampoline is used here: since we need to
get back into the kernel, a dedicated syscall is used (sys$sigreturn.)
This restores the TSS contents of the process to the state it was in
while we were originally blocking in the kernel.
NOTE: There's currently only one "kernel resume TSS" so signal nesting
definitely won't work.
