Very cool.

Sorry for being rusty here, but is it safe to call fuword in the middle 
of issignal()?

The reason I ask is because it looks like proc lock is required for this 
block, and I forget it fuword(9) can fault.

If fuword(9) can fault then I don't think you can do this.

You'll need to use something like fuswintr(9) or wire the page down 
using vslock(9) or something.

I am probably missing something?
