I've recently implemented a really spiffy way to handle exceptions in get_user/put_user (for the Alpha currently, but the idea is applicable everywhere).
Unfortunately it does not currently work with modules because it relies on having a table of the addresses of all instructions that are allowed to fault. What is needed to make modules work with my exceptions is to have each module have a similar table of its own that could be searched in turn.
And, since it would seem that this change would break old modules, I was wondering if there are any other cleanups that had been thought about -- better to to all the breaking at once.
Anyone?
