Shoot, you don't even need it in the kernel. That will make a bunch
of folks even happier.
Here's a warning.
"WARNING. This is DSM support code.
1) If you don't like it, for religious or other reasons, don't use it.
2) If you like it, but it doesn't work well for your particular
application, don't use it.
3) If you like it, and it works well for your application, use it but
don't tell anyone on linux-kernel because a bunch of them will
yell at you and tell you it doesn't work."

"I'm sorry, my dogma ran over your karma"
