Yes, please...

I was going to send 1-4 to Linus a long ago, but I can't restore
my korg account.

Plus I have a couple of other minor ptrace changes, could you
take them too ?

Chris, iirc you suggested to add PTRACE_O_KILL_TRACEE_IF_DEBUGGER_DIES.
The necessary change is simple, please suggest the good name for the
new option ;)

Oleg.
