Appreciated very much.
People will switch to NT if Linux will not have this feature. This is no
speculation. Dieter Kvasnicka <dieter@hermes.theochem.tuwien.ac.at> told
me this.

IMO it wouldn't make sense to include all the MSR's. The two performance
counters and the control register would be enough.
Kernel gurus: Which structures need to be enhanced?
And finally: I would really very much like to get some word from the
kernel gurus (the master guys) on what kernel-user-space interface should
be used! I don't understand why my emails go unanswered.
What is it? Am I too lame? Is my sig too long? Does my charset stink???
