Dan,

Sorry I could not get back to you earlier. You are right, in that I am trusting
the host! I am of the firm belief that in a virtualized environment, if you don't
trust

the host, there is not a whole lot you can do in a guest! I have had this
arguments

with other on this mailing list in the past. Having said that, I think we have spent
more

time debating this than we should; your proposal is reasonable and I will go
ahead and

re-spin those patches based on your comments. I should be posting them
shortly.

It's not about trusting the host or not trusting the host.  It's
about "if you're going to specify a limitter, it can't be off by one
even if you don't expect to hit the limit".

But thanks for redoing these.
Thank you, for taking the time to review.

Regards,

K. Y
