Thank you. I understand. But now, let me know what are the main differences between the new SKAS4, released by Jeff Dike, and your SKAS3. I guess your skas3 patch is very similar to the oldest skas3 patches, but it's obviously adapted to the latest kernel versions. I know the skas4 patch introduced many important changes respect of the skas3. Do I incur in such loss of performances running the skas3 patch instead of a skas4 one? In other words, if both skas4 and skas3 was available for the 2.6.27 kernel, what would be the best one if we look UML performances (not a specific test)? I ask you this question because I noted that there's a significant performance increase in UML since Jeff Dike released the skas4 patch, that "must" be applied to the host and to the guest kernel, and since "from now" I only have to apply the skas3 patch to the host, in order to have UML running in skas3 mode.
