With respect Jeff - and I feel that this might simply be a miscommunciation
here - but this doesn't read wonderfully. 'can be placed' 'it will be moved
out', etc.

Please try to be respectful of experienced maintainers who are taking their
time to review your code, and respond politely and respectfully. I think
what you meant to say is something more like:

"I'm more than happy to do that, but I feel that it would be more suited in
a separate header, as this strictly belongs to the kernel functionality
surrounding the execution of code. However we can revisit this at a later
time!"

My feeling is that this is exactly what you mean, but you are just
essentially abbreviating this. However it reads rather rudely, which I'm
sure you don't intend.

Ultimately the fact of the matter is that your series will be merged when
it reaches the standards required of you by the relevant maintainers, as is
the case will all code submitted to the kernel when we reach consensus.

In this series you have addressed a great number of concerns which has
brought the merging of it very much closer, so I hope we can continue in
the same vein and reach this consensus soon.

Let's try to avoid any miscommunication which might delay us reaching this
aim!

Thanks, Lorenzo
