It's me and others.  Someone should post (avoiding lots of cross-posting,
please) to libc-alpha@sourceware.org with a straightforward description of
the userland semantics being introduced (we don't need to see kernel
patches) and (ideally) a proposed patch for the dynamic linker code to make
use of it (a strawman example is OK to begin with).


Thanks,
Roland
