target/linux/generic-2.6/patches-2.6.29/022-mips_force_sig_address_errors.patch

   1 When init is started it is SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE.  If it were to get an
   2 address error, we would try to send it SIGBUS, but it would be ignored
   3 and the faulting instruction restarted.  This results in an endless
   4 loop.
   5
   6 We need to use force_sig() instead so it will actually die and give us
   7 some useful information.
