I don't intend this system call to be part of the mainstream Linux kernel
(or even part of the mutiny's produced kernel). I just intend it to be
available as a separate patch to the kernel (that is accompanied by
patches to glibc, bash and whatever else uses it.
But like I said, the main issue was that I believed this will open a can
of worms and the kernel will bit me in unexpected places.
