Pulled, but that /proc/mm crap has to go (it wasn't in this patch, or I
would have rejected it).

What are the semantics the host code wants/needs, and how can we implement
a sane generic mechanism that doesn't involve opening magic files?

Having co-processes isn't wrong in itself, I just want the support to be
clean and generic, instead of a huge hack.
