YES, user-space can't always fit! Some function need to be implemented
in kernel. And that's why we have KMS, we have auto cgroup ....

Don't say, hey , hard to implement, all you have to to is apply the
path .. No need to do for you.

If the patch isn't as good as you expected, reject, I'll try better one.
The thing is, you really should agree that, implementing UNICODE font in
