I think this has more to do with broken scsi devices than breaking the
kernel. Some devices are very badly behaved with scsi and can totally lock
up the scsi chain if they dont get what they want.
So by blocking SIGINT the idea is that a luser cant ^C the program in the
middle of something important.
