Let me be clear, I still think putting some hypercalls in process
context *might help* but because of notes 1) and 2) I highlighted I
think this is the best we can do, with more information we should be
able to consider weighing pros / cons with actual metrics from
alternatives, without more information we're just shooting in the dark
and the last thing I want is to see APIs abused or setting precedents.
