Hi,

at first, we (me and my collegues) very appreciate a work you have done
so far for linux kernel security. Thank you ... cause of YOUR work, we
are still winning every day fight with naughty students of our
university, who test any new kernel exploit on our servers instead of
researching in Matlab ;))

at second. I have to agree with Carlos, I'd rather like a patch with
fits with original vanilla kernel - it's more generic - more usefull. IMHO.
