I just don't see a lot of demand for this kind of feature at this
point, so why bloat the kernel? Plus the solution so far seems rather
incomplete and fragile. I suggest to play with this in a separate
tree and if users start to really like the patch and can't live
without it, well, I'm sure I'll hear about it.
