No. Some architectures do not save enough state on the stack by default, and need to do more to use do_signal(). Look at alpha, for example - the default kernel stack doesn't contain all tbe registers needed, and the alpha do_signal() calling convention is different. If you want to handle do_signal(), then you need to do _all_ of this in architecture-specific files. You simply cannot do what you want to do in a generic way.
