I propose to take this patch as part of those I will be submitting.
It took me some unplanned time to add support for hardened user copy,
but now it's done - at least to a point that I can test it without failures.
So I'm back on track to provide an example of the smalloc api and I can
also use Tetsuo's work (thanks again, btw).
This patch would be sandwiched between the smalloc ones and the LSM rework.
It can get merged when the rest (hopefully) is merged.
But I have a more prosaic question: since smalloc is affecting the
memory subsystem, can it still be merged through the security tree?
