And at first glance this does what we discussed before. I mean, even if
(perhaps) this series has some problems/bugs it looks right "in general"
to me.

Yeah... And right now I have some concerns about the details, but I am
not ready to share them. Will try tomorrow, it turns out I need to re-read
the previous series.

Say, even 1/8 doesn't look exactly right with the current ptrace code,
WARN_ON_ONCE() can be easily triggered afaics.
