  Modified files:
    sys/kern             kern_sig.c 
  Log:
  - Teach SIGIO code to use cr_cansignal() instead of a custom CANSIGIO()
    macro.  As a result, mandatory signal delivery policies will be
    applied consistently across the kernel.
  
  - Note that this subtly changes the protection semantics, and we should
    watch out for any resulting breakage.  Previously, delivery of SIGIO
    in this circumstance was limited to situations where the subject was
    privileged, or where one of the subject's (ruid, euid) matched one
    of the object's (ruid, euid).  In the new scenario, subject (ruid, euid)
    are matched against the object's (ruid, svuid), and the object uid's
    must be a subset of the subject uid's.  Likewise, jail now affects
    delivery, and special handling for P_SUGID of the object is present.
    This change can always be reversed or tweaked if it proves to disrupt
    application behavior substantially.
