Er, yes, I'm sorry if I left out that bit of background; I had meant to
imply it when I mentioned "LinuxPPS" in the subject line, which I think
of as Rodolfo's code base.  I was starting from that implementation,
my patches were to that code, and I was thinking about further changes.

It's not; I've been working on improvements to Rodolfo's code.
(For example, I think the PPS_FETCH ioctl interface could use it.)
