I think that section of reboot(2) is inaccurate. I don't see any
trappable signal actually being sent to the init process.

What actually seems to happen is this:

- All processes in the PID namespace are terminated by the kernel (SIGKILL?).
- The exit status on the "init" process is set so that it appears to
have been killed using SIGHUP or SIGINT. The parent process can use
this to distinguish between a reboot and a halt request.
