Hi,

I did port Anton's v4 patch to v4.1-rc1-56-g3d99e3f and run it the last
two days.

Original v4 from Anton can be found here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/user-mode-linux/mailman/message/32856805/
 
Issues addressed in v5 version:
- Ported to v4.1-rc1-56-g3d99e3f
- Replaced IRQF_DISABLED with IRQF_TIMER in request_irq(). I'm not sure
if this is the right thing to do.
- Removed unused variable/function: bbev and sleep_time()

What I don't understand is:
- why is SIGVTALRM/itimer is still used? wouldn't be enough to only use
the timer created by timer_create and SIGUSR2? 
- why are still both IRQs are still registered in the uml kernel?
request_irq() for TIMER_IRQ and HRTIMER_IRQ?
- doesn't occur duplicate signals now? One by SIGUSR2 and one from
SIGVTALRM?

kind regards
thomas
