I would suggest we wait until after LPC to see what Christian's design is (given that, from what I've heard, it will help us solve more problems than just the kill(2) issue).
I am very skeptical of adding new procfs files as an "intermediate solution" (procfs is the most obvious example of an interface which is effectively written in stone). Especially if this would conflict with the idea Christian will propose -- as he said, there were proposals to do this in the past and they didn't get anywhere because of lack of discussion and brainstorming before posting patches.
