I've been experimenting with creating IO threads for the PV device

that it has something to do with signals being delivered to the wrong
thread but after masking out all the signals for this thread, I still
had no luck.

Maybe you set the mask too late? try setting it before creating the thread:
 sigfillset(&thread_sig_mask);
 sigdelset(&thread_sig_mask,SIGILL);
 sigdelset(&thread_sig_mask,SIGFPE);
 sigdelset(&thread_sig_mask,SIGSEGV);

When using RTC or HPET for timing you also need to mask SIGIO; you may
also need to change F_SETOWN (enable_sigio_timer) with the correct
thread id, i.e.:

fcntl(fd, F_SETOWN, gettid());

I do mask SIGIO - first the set is fiilled, then SGILL,SIGFPE,SIGSEGV are back enabled.
