This still doesn't provide a reason for anyone to be interested in the
code!  Why do we want pids in inotify messages?
    
 
my application has to
differentiate IO made by itself and any IO made by system (another
users, crons, whatever else)
I don't think so.  As discussed,
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=122735413932519), you already can
differentiate I/O made by local users, so you don't need to modify inotify.

This change violates my first rule of programming: If there's two or
more ways of solving a problem, pick one; don't pick them all.
