Subject[patch 6/6] sys_indirect RFC - example usage from kernel POV
This is an example of how to add a context set/unset wrapper inside
the kernel, for something like open flags:

1) Alloc a new SYSIND_CTX_* sequential index inside linux/indirect.h

2) Define a new "struct sysind_ctx_*" to be used by userspace

3) Define proper set/unset functions inside kernel/sys_indirect.c
