IWSTM that the way you would justify this being a system call would also suggest working with non-linux kernel developers (both open source as well as commercial) to determine a mutually agreed syntax/semantic for this call to further ensure the basis of the universality that ensure it will be one of those "forever" facilities, and maybe even make it into a future standard.
