I have looked and I haven't even seen any exec work.  Where can it be
found?

I have working and cleaning up exec for what 3 cycles now.  There is
still quite a ways to go before it becomes possible to fix some of the
deep problems in exec.  Removing all of these broken exec special cases
is quite frankly the entire point of this patchset.

Sight unseen I suggest you send me your exec work and I can merge it
into my branch if we are going to conflict badly.
