Unfortunately, I'm having a really hard time parsing this thread (some parts
of it simply don't make sense; others use non-architectural terms and
overall I don't get a feeling for the problem).

Please could you explain your system design step by step so that I can
understand (a) what you've built and (b) why the current design of Linux is
causing you problems?

Sorry if I'm just being thick, but it's important that we get this right.

Cheers,

Will
