Petr, thanks for sending this.  This _is_ a pretty concise example of
what it means to convert kernel code to run in your sandbox mode.  But,
from me, it's still "no thanks".

Establishing and maintaining this proxy list will be painful.  Folks
will change the code to call something new and break this *constantly*.

That goes for infrastructure like the allocators and for individual
sandbox instances like apparmor.

It's also telling that sandboxing a bit of apparmor took four fixups.
That tells me we're probably still only looking at the tip of the icebeg
if we were to convert a bunch more sites.

That's on top of everything I was concerned about before.
