Sure! Of course, that was just a suggestion, and we are mostly
interested in having this in Xen, not about how the Linux implementation
works.

Actually, I do believe that, if the thing is popular on Linux, and if
there are user-level (or whatever-level) tools that interact with it, a
common (or at least a compatible and easy to adapt) interface would be a
great plus (for us!), but really, don't go too much deep with that.

What I really meant was that, if it were me doing this, I'd at least
have a look, with the aim of figuring out how actually popular, useful
and used this is in the Linux world. If it's used a lot, then we can see
about being compatible with it. If it's just some forgotten piece of
code inside the kernel, then we can implement our own variant of it,
without caring of Linux's interface and user space tools!

Sure, that would be great.

Or, feel free to use this thread for updates, but open new ones for
specific questions or issues.
