Subject[PATCH] interceptors-0.3, kernel 2.3.8
It's very difficult to extend kernel functionality
without recompiling. "Interceptors" can help :-).

description:
_SAFE_ way to intercept kernel events.
Two exported functions:
previous = register_interceptor( handler, type );
unregister_interceptor( handler, type );
Currently supported operations to intercept:
character device
block device (in this version file operations only)
system calls
Goals:
simple STREAMS replacement (with almost ZERO performance loss!)
provides new functionality for modules.
some existing patches may now be distributed as modules.
Tested:
Slightly, on i386 only.
The patch is against 2.3.8.



Best regards.
