FYI I did make progress on the "punt it to userspace" approach. I'm not 
posting it even as an RFC yet because I still need to set up a machine 
to try actually testing any of it (it's almost certainly broken 
somewhere), but in the end it comes out looking surprisingly not too bad 
overall. If you're curious to take a look in the meantime I put it here:
