There is a prototype here:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/linux-2.6.33-nsfd-v5.git

The description of what it does:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/linux-2.6.33-nsfd-v5.git;a=commit;h=9c2f86a44d9ca93e78fd8e81a4e2a8c2a4cdb054

I don't know what is the status of this patchset and if Eric is willing 
to push it for the next kernel version.

Thanks
