    Not sure if a signal is good for this. It might conflict with existing
    strange historical semantics.

    Ideally there should be a new function like signal_pending() that checks for
    this. Then the network fs could check those in their blocking loops
    and error out.

    Then it would even work on non intr NFS mounts.
