Hi Kees,

I've just reviewed this, and it looks good to me, no complaints.

I unfortunately don't have hardware to review it. Also, I'm on
i386, so I can't test installability of the amd64 packages,
but I don't anticipate a problem there.

I think this is ready for upload for review in the NEW queue.

What would be the next step after that? MIR? Do you have a list
of the applications that would need to be modified to take advantage
of it to avoid having to resort to LD_PRELOAD?

Thanks,

James
