I think that what you will need to address here is why not use the probe or
iprobe functionality for this, as this is a way within the current standard
to do this.

Unless you're multi-threaded.

There may be very good reasons not to do this, but this would
be my first question. You may have already thought about this, and I may
have misunderstood what you mean.

Our draft proposal addresses this issue; there isn't much point in discussing this issue further on the list until the proposal is available. I just wanted to give a "heads up" that this proposal is coming.
