Hi David,
The more I looked at this, the more I warmed to it. I've known for a while that people are using kallsyms not for OOPS (eg. /proc/$$/wchan), so we should provide a "grabs locks" version, but this solution gets around that nicely, while making life more certain for the oops case, too.
Good work! Rusty. -- A bad analogy is like a leaky screwdriver -- Richard Braakman
