Re: [PATCH]: Add Network Sysrq Support

Using the netfilter xt-SYSRQ code seems to store the entered code and
execute it later after the system has returned to a normal state....
which is much too late to be useful.

So add a feature that allows xt-SYSRQ to not queue the request
and instead execute it immediately in softirq context.

I don't see what the big deal is.
