Anyway, I do not care too much.
Okay, I see your point: it would allow for removing the program check
handling from the STORAGE LIMIT invocation.
... if only we wouldn't need the exact same program check handling for the
new query subfunction :P
Yeah yeah, but I think you got that this might help in the future.
Right. Adding it later also doesn't quite help to get rid of the checks
here, because some user space might implement STORAGE LIMIT without QUERY.
So strategically, the right approach would indeed be to add QUERY now.
Thoughts from the KVM folks? Unfortunately subfunction 0 is taken, which
is usually QUERY IIRC.
