Hello Igor,
This is very interesting, because it seems a very good match to the work
I'm doing, for supporting the creation of more targets for protection:

In my case the protection would extend also to write-rate type of data.
There is an open problem of identifying legitimate write-rare
operations, however it should be possible to provide at least a certain
degree of confidence.
I have checked your patch set. In our work we were originally planning to do
something similar to write_rare just so we can differentiate between memory
chunks that may be modified and those that will be set once and never modify.
I see you are planning to do a white paper too, actually we are doing
an academic
paper based on our work. If you would like to collaborate, so that ROE
and write_rare
would integrate well from the beginning, we will be glad to do so.
The offer is very kind, thanks a lot.
I will contact you in private.
