The problem is not, or not only, that of elevating the authority of a 'caller'.

It is frequently necessary to depress authority, and it is therefore
necessary to elevate it too in order to restore the status quo ante.
Worse, it is possible to do things with SRBs that cross address-space
boundaries; and this facility too is necessary.

Paul's proposed solution, admirably motivated, is akin to capital
punishment for locksmiths in a jurisdiction where locks are
ubiquitous.
