Yes, I have a follow on patch that restructures the code that fills out siginfo, and makes the it a little less error prone. I am hoping to merge all of it in the next merge window. *Fingers crossed*
And having it all in one tree will facilitate that.

It looks like it. When I look at those I can actually find the si_code being set higher up in the code. It looks like the si_code value was missed when this work was done.
