Hello,

This RFC series attempts to address the syscall restarting problems
introduced during the merge window and described here:

  http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2012-June/104733.html

I reckon the first two reverts should go in for 3.5 unless anybody has
a better solution. The rest of the code is an RFC since, as Russell has
said before, the code is `rather yucky'.

In my effort to avoid breaking strace, I ended up merging in my audit
fixes with this series since keeping the patch sets separate was
becoming a bit of a nightmare given the amount of common code they are
modifying.

Given the mysterious ability of this code to wrap my brain around my
face and beat it with a hammer, I would really appreciate some feedback!

Cheers,

Will
