[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH 2/2] Signals: rework initial signal setup

[Alexandre Raymond]

-Restructure the signal setup by creating two groups:
  * blocked_set, which contains signals that are ignored by QEMU or caught
                 directly by a specific thread (e.g.: SIG_IPI).
  * handled_set, which contains signals handled synchronously via signalfd.
