Xen devel - Feb 2007 - [PATCH] RHEL3 2.4 domU kernel has load average of 2

The backport of the xenbus code for the 2.4 kernel changed
wait_event_interruptible() into wait_event() into a couple of places it
looks to deal with the fact that signals weren''t being blocked. This
results in an idle domU showing a load-average of 2, which was messing
up some work-management tools.

The attached patch blocks all signals for the xenbus and xenwatch
daemons, instead.
