It was my idea in the first place to use the ring buffer.  I'm sure
others had the same idea but that's what I presented.  So, I see no
reason you should delay making this change because of me.

The only important thing is that we need to get a useful semantics for
fork and exec.  For fork, it must be possible to "dequeue" entries from
the ring buffer in a thread-safe way.  For exec (where a file descriptor
might survive) we likely need a mechanism to mmap the ring buffer only
based on the file descriptor.  I'm not sure about this, though.
