Now I wonder if we could just hook up a preempt notifier
for kernel live patches. All the distro kernels already
need the preempt notifier for KVM, anyway...
Is it crazy? Maybe a little.
Is it self contained, and something that could be done
without inserting any extra code into a hot path while
not in the middle of a KLP transition? Yes.
I'd be happy to come up with a patch that does that,
unless anybody has good reasons I should not :)
