Have you tested this patch ? I guess not. The TODO here is not just to
change a language keyword but to see if it would be better achieved
using a different construct and representation of the different signals.
Here what you've done is merge all the signals into a single one.

I think that a better patch would be to just remove the TODO comment
that has been there for about 20 years without making any progress, and
which is no longer relevant since that code will not change now.

Well as you said it was better to just remove the todo that just what i
did :)

Please, follow the "Submitting Patches" and "Linux Kernel patch
