[PLUG] TRAMPFD?

A Microsoft engineer is proposing the Trampoline File Descriptor 
"TRAMPFD" as a new kernel API for securely dealing with trampoline code 
on systems. There are concerns already over the potential performance 
implications but there does seem to be some interest in this approach.


Reading the article did nothing to help me understand what they're 
talking about, but it looked relevant.

How the hell can you fit a trampoline in code? Those things are huge.
I'll bet it has a JUMP command.

(sorry)
