looks good to me! I think this API is pretty straightforward. I've put
this into my tree and have updated the sched-devel git tree:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mingo/linux-2.6-sched-devel.git

but there seems to be a bug in it, i get this:

kobject_add failed for 500 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory.
[<c01e1730>] kobject_shadow_add+0x13b/0x169
[<c01e1795>] kobject_set_name+0x28/0x91
[<c01299d5>] user_kobject_create+0x6a/0x90
[<c0129d3c>] alloc_uid+0x141/0x181
[<c012d05c>] set_user+0x1c/0x91
[<c012e4c7>] sys_setresuid+0xd9/0x17d
[<c0103cf6>] sysenter_past_esp+0x5f/0x85
