Don't claim such things, Tejun. Yes, I'm missing a number of things
(the same applies to you as well), but this patch was not 'just a
fast way to achieve what we need'. It's rather an attempt to gather
all things I've missed and provide more robust/solid version at the
next iteration (regargless which form this patch appeared, complete
user-space solution, some kernel api extension of whatever).
