Hi.

I finally found some time to finish this off. I don't really like the
end result - the macros looked clearer to me - but here goes. If it
looks okay, I'll seek sign offs from each of the affected driver
maintainers and from Ingo. Anyone else?

What are your feelings about this: http://lwn.net/Articles/145417/ ?

I'm sure it could work, but I do worry a little about the possibilities
for exploits. It seems to me that if someone can get root, they an
insmod a module that could schedule any kind of work via any process.
Tracing that sort of security hole could be intractable. Christoph, is
that something you've considered/have thoughts on? Perhaps I'm just
being paranoid :>

If someone gets root access it means you're already exploited.

Yeah, true. Ok. Lame thought :>
