Subject[PATCH][2.6.8-rc2-mm1] x86_64 signal handling fix
The signal-race-fixes patch in 2.6.8-rc2-mm1 appears to
have broken x86-64's ia32 emulation.

When forcing a SIGSEGV the old code updated "*ka", where
ka was a pointer to current's k_sigaction for SIGSEGV.
Now "ka_copy" points to a copy of that structure, so
assigning "*ka_copy" doesn't do what we want. Instead
do the assignment via current->... just like the normal
signal delivery code does.
