Folks, could you please take a look at getting rid of that match_pid
crap?  We need to get rid of the tasklist_lock export to change the
locking scheme in that area, and what netfilter does with it is not
pretty.  I'd actually prefer dropping those modules completely, this
kind of inverse lookup from file/socket to process shouldn't be done
anywhere in the kernel.
