Ok.  I will do so by implementing 'ARBITRARY_TARGETS' type I suggested in the
reply tou your review on PATCH 1[1].

I think this is same to the suggestion you gave as a reply to the PATCH 1.

Agreed on the weird state after the failure, but I think allowing only one-time
setup makes things much simple.  Also, as this function returns error code, the
callers can clean up the state in that case if they want.  So, if you are ok,
I'd like to keep this as is.

Agreed, this was only accidentally introduced earlier.

Checks if previous caller requested monitoring works are still running.  If so,
because different callers might set the target regions to overlap and result in
interfering each other's monitoring results, we reject the currently requested
monitoring.

No, we don't create a new kthread.  This is for self termination of the
monitoring.  Let's suppose the targets are processes.  We define the target as
invalid if the process is terminated.  If all target processes are terminated,
the monitoring thread don't need to continue, so stop.

Ok, I will wrote down the code explicitly.

Agreed.
