Hi Henry,
A while back I posted a different approach [1] to this mailing list for 
review. To bad, there have not been any comments.

The differences of my approach in contrast to mwester's approach have been 
discussed on the arm kernel mailing list. If there is any interest in this 
(userspace) approach at all, I will improve on the known problems (like hard 
coded ATAG base address).

I'd really appreciate feedback from the developers.
