It's often a mistake to use signals in-kernel. Signals are more a
userspace thing and it's better to use the lower-level kernel-specific
messaging tools in-kernel. Bear in mind that userspace can
independently and asynchronously send, accept and block signals.
Can KMS use wait_event_interruptible_timeout()?
