Why isn't this patch upstream? has it ever been proposed for inclusion?
If so please provide a reference to the thread on LKML.

While the patch looks clean, it can easily clash with further kernel development
since the syscalls are numbered in sequence, that would require extra maintainance
for us.

Also the fact that patch is not portable makes it use very limited and specific.

What are the plans for porting it?
