OK. I've updated the patches to do the renaming. There was  one bad call
to force_sig (do_sigreturn should just return EFAULT instead of generating
a core). I've also fixed the SIGILL on BSD as well. The rest all look like
they
should be renamed. None look like they were copied from linux-user and
should
be the linux version :).
