The default handler for a SIGILL would of course be to blow away the
task (with a core dump), just like traditional Unix systems.  The
application may override this, though.  For unmaskable signals
(SIGKILL, SIGSTOP) the signal syscall implementation would have to
send a message to the task server to kill/stop the task.
