I think he means add his patch to mine (we're still going to need the
S/390 specific LWP code), and it's a better alternative because it
doesn't force you to go through an ugly, klugey hack (which I did poorly
anyway--I should have borrowed the memcpy code from glibc, not the
strncpy code from the kernel, as my template) and kernel recompilation.
