My objections to this patch are also technical. A non-technical
objection would be "I don't like Jeff's hairstyle, so I'm rejecting
this patch". "This is a terrible abuse of the observer mechanism"
is a technical objection.

As for vsyscall, my memory may be faulty. It happens to me a lot
lately. I was thinking of the delay while the observers mechanism was
extended, and the partial xfer mechanism created. What do you mean by
"attach doesn't work now"?
