SubjectRe: [RFC] [PATCH] Pre-emption control for userspace

If it was possible to make the time remaining in the current timeslice
available to userspace through the vdso, the thread could do something like:

if (sys_timeleft() < CRITICAL_SECTION_SIZE)
yield();
lock();

to avoid running out of timeslice in the middle of the critical section.
