Yeah there isn't much left to do on them - the main delay has just been finding some time to work on them. I did want to revisit the naming of the events and the subtle differences for syscalls with a single implementation for both the native and compat versions versus those that have separate implementations - I don't want userspace to have to care about that distinction. I recall there were a few comments on some of your patches in the series - if I rebase the patches on the current tip tree and publish the tree somewhere would you be willing to take a look at those? Cheers, -Ian
