Seems to me that it is.  Besides, as patches go, this is *hardly* obtrusive 
and requires minimal changes to the kernel API.  It's not like he's asking 
to integrate the whole streams driver into the kernel.  I don't think the 
addition of this code will cause any new bugs to appear [the actual streams 
driver aside], do you?
