I was i belive quite close to having it working on the last patch, however
could never seem to get the ctl kernel module to function,
And feel im a bit further away with this latest patch retracing my steps,
from previous... quite easy to backport.... maybe for you, or other
but yes, I also would like to integrate the work to stable/9 in the lab for
some benchmarks
