Yes, I was playing with this idea as well. I just do not like how fragile this is.

Unless you beat me to it :) I can cook something up but there is quite a big pile on my desk currently (as always :/). -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
