Ingo/Peter?
Would be nice to convert some existing open-coded return-to-user-space
logic to this facility. One such candidate would be lockdep_sys_exit?

Sorry, limited bandwidth due to LinuxCon, but I like the concept, and
the previous (partial) patch was really clean. I agree with Ingo that
arch support so we can use this as a general facility would be nice, but
I don't consider that as a prerequisite for merging.
