Ok. Then my sympathies, I can understand what a difficult position this places you in. A global pidspace resembling the one you have now is the one idea that has been consistently shot down in all of the discussions. So I doubt anything short of a miracle could get it merged in the short term. I am fairly certain that everyone who has existing management code at this point will find it needs modifications to work with whatever version is merged into the mainstream kernel.
