I won't claim to fully understand your suggestion above, but if it is
suspicious enough to look hackish to you than it will probably look
hackish to other people. Nonetheless there might be a case for
exception if the approach yields clear advantages. Can you point me
to an example somewhere in the kernel code where something similar
would have been done?
