Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you mean, but isn't this what is dealt with in ia64_poke: if you try and update a process's user RBS via ptrace, it writes to the kernel RBS instead? How do you manage to make the user RBS newer - are you somehow updating it via shared memory? (In which case I would say don't do that ;)) IMHO copying the RBS back and forth seems like an awfully expensive workaround for something that would better be handled at the time that you actually need to write to the RBS.
