   Imagine for a moment that we solve time-warp somehow. Any other
   problems? [I'd really like to get "is user idle" solved, but it really
   should not be in kernel unless it _has_ to. And time-warp probably
   causes problems not only for your daemon.]

Hi, 
the two patches in attachment fix the time-warp problem and remove the procfs
support. Feel free to contact me when you'll find a better way, maybe I could
help.

Best,
