Using an si_code of 0 that aliases with SI_USER is clearly the wrong thing todo, and causes problems in interesting ways. For use in unknown_exception the recently defined TRAP_UNK semantically is a perfect fit. For use in RunModeException it looks like something more specific than TRAP_UNK could be used. No one has bothered to find a better fit than the broken si_code of 0 in all of these years and I don't see an obvious better fit so TRAP_UNK is switching RunModeException to return TRAP_UNK is clearly an improvement. Recent history suggests no actually cares about crazy corner cases of the kernel behavior like this so I don't expect any regressions from changing this. However if something does happen this change is easy to revert. Though I wonder if SIGKILL might not be a better fit.
