After mulling this over, I think your patch is probably the safest for us
to apply at present as it is also the most amenable to backporting. Are
you okay with removing the RFC status? I still have my concerns about
possible task wakeups causing problems with filesystem code if the
copy_to_user() takes a page fault, but those can be addressed separately.
Kent's closures are an option for the future, but I think it would be
more appropriate for that new code to be introduced in the next merge
window.
