I agree that it's not that hard, but it does raise the bar somewhat.  
The user/kernel boundary is there for a reason, after all: to prevent
buggy applications from corrupting each other or the system, and to make
it possible to reclaim all resources when an app terminates abnormally.

That said, the real-time signals in RTLinux 3 look really cool, and they
are a nice step towards providing a friendlier programming model.
