	 * Blocking part of the signal-session interface

	 * The blocking 'wait_for_signal()' function cannot be part of the
	 * signal-session interface because otherwise, context allocations or
	 * signal submissions would not be possible while blocking for signals.
	 * Therefore, the blocking part is implemented a separate interface,
	 * which can be used by an independent thread.
