Looks good, does it test out good - I will tell you during the week. I 
already have most of the testcases set up from the period when I did 
only the kernel part.

The best test is running any of the kernel queueing disciplines. Stock 
UML is completely unable to do any of them correctly. I can probably 
concoct something related to timers and timeouts in protocols too to 
demo the breakage with the current timer state in these.

If you mean SIGALRM that had some issues. I tried that originally and 
gave up - that is why the patch uses SIGUSR2 - it is something nobody 
uses and it did not interfere with the existing use of ALRM and VTALRM.
