 support for SUD

Gregory,

I can't resist, I have a couple of cosmetic nits.

Let me repeat, do not mix sizeof(struct ptrace_sud_config) and sizeof(config).
Perhaps this is just me, but this looks confusing to me. Please use
sizeof(config) both times.

                                 ^^^

Again, this is cosmetic but a bit annoying. Please use either "config" or
"cfg" in both functions to make the naming more consistent.

	rc = task_set_syscall_user_dispatch(task, cfg.mode, cfg.offset, cfg.len,
					   (char __user *)(uintptr_t)cfg.selector);

looks a bit better to me.

Oleg.
