1. the stuff is against 2.2.0, while 2.2.1 is out and on my machine
at least.
2. I'd really like to try the page coloring stuff, but I don't want to
spend a lot of time testing/tweaking other stuff (IE the devfs) stuff.
3. the ioctl() approach to turn this on (per process) seems like it might
well be a reasonable approach to avoid the overhead for non-cpu bound
processes that aren't going to give a squat about this. I'd assume that
I could write a simple piece of code that does the ioctl() call, then
does an exec() to the real program (ie 'color xyz' would enable coloring
and then execute xyz)???
4. What's the chance of your extracting just the coloring code and doing
a separate patch that is easier to play with?
