Ah, will ping him, sure. I'll send two patches in series
one -- this patch and second

"From: Andrew Vagin <avagin@xxxxxxxxxx>"
"Subject: c/r: prctl: Add ability to get clear_tid_address"

for which I've got no feedback at all :( Is there some
fundamental problem with this patch? Or everyone simply
agree on it? ;) Anyway, I hope with next series I'll get
some feedback fron anyone in CC list :)
