Cannot be discussed?   Well the obvious approach is to split the program
such that user mode code runs in a seperate process,  then arrange for
that process to be controlled by the main process as a debugee.

Then the main process has complete control over the child,  and can mess 
with it (including memory mappings,  cataching signals and syscalls) to
it's heart's content.  This would allow user space to run at full speed,
while still having the system space running in the emulated dynamic
translation system.

It'd take some work to do this,  and get the synchronisation working
correctly,  but as I said it's the 'obvious' approach.  It also has
the advantage that it would work well on x86-64.
