The in-kernel x86 thing is going away (it's actually highly
suboptimal)....
Yes it's done in userland, this is the right place so far.... out of
tree... well... there's no good place for such userspace tools in the
kernel tree currently otherwise I'd love to have it there.
If your distro doesn't install this by default, please file a bug
against the distro; I know we (Intel) worked with Fedora, RHEL, SuSE
and Ubuntu to get it included.... maybe others don't?
