Markus,
i've applied the first 4 patches to x86.git.
another detail: shouldnt this be structured so that the APIs are
introduced in kernel/ptrace.c, and that the architecture offers the
mechanism. (which would thus be ptrace-independent) This would also open
these APIs up to kernel-internal use and to be used by other
architectures.

Isn't this best done once we actually have at least one other
architecture?
The DS interface should be fine for kernel and user trace on x86, but it
may not be the best interface for other architectures.

markus.
