There will have a syscall which lets user set userland critical address:
      sys_set_user_critical_addr(int *addr);
kernel should remember the address, before delivering signal to
userland, kernel should read the value at the address, if it
is no-zero, it shouldn't deliver signals whose signal handler is
installed.
