>Description:

  The arch/mips/mips/fp.S file has not been updated for siginfo.  I
believe this means it is possible for an unpriviledged user to induce a
kernel TLB miss on any MIPS CPU.  Also, I think e_trapsignal should be
called by this code, not trapsignal directly.

>How-To-Repeat:

  I triggered this cancelling a ftp transfer on a softfloat machine,
possibly assisted by a different problem I am investigating.

>Fix:

   I think the right thing to do would be to pass the info to a C function
in trap.c that sets up the ksi and calls e_trapsignal.
