Actually, Im not too sure what is required to put something in kernel
in process context. Maybe its alot harder than I think it is...

I'm with you on this. It just that I didnt think putting my code in
process context would be regarded as workaround. Since kernel itself
ran fine, only after putting in my change it caused problem, I simply
thought that putting changes to code that was already there is more
severe than making further changes to what I've done. At least this
way, change is still within my domain.

But again, if putting my function in process context is that hard..
okay I better think otherwise :)
