Ingo/Peter?
Would be nice to convert some existing open-coded return-to-user-space
logic to this facility. One such candidate would be lockdep_sys_exit?
I only implemented this for x86, while lockdep is arch independent. If
arch support is added, it should be trivial.
I think perf counters could use preempt notifiers though, these are arch
independent.
