SIGSYS is entirely seccomp now. There looks like a single obscure MIPS 
user of it in Linux that's not seccomp, but it would be entirely new for 
powerpc (or any of the common platforms, arm, x86 etc).

So I would be disinclined to use SIGSYS unless there are no other better 
signal types, and we don't want to use SIGILL for some good reason -- is 
there a good reason to add complexity for userspace by differentiating 
these two situations?

Thanks,
Nick
