#
# Minimalist mconsole exec patch 
#
# 3.10 version (with bit more synchronous behavior) by fingon at iki dot fi
# Adaptation to kernel 3.3.8 made by David Fernández (david at dit.upm.es) for 
# Starting point: mconsole-exec-2.6.30.patch for kernel 2.6.30
# Author of original patch: Paolo Giarrusso, aka Blaisorblade 
#                           (http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade)
#
# Known misfeatures:
#
# - If output is too long, blocks (and breaks horribly) 
# (this misfeature from 3.10 patches, when minimalizing the patch;
#  workaround: redirect to a shared filesystem if long output is expected)
#
# - Nothing useful is done with stdin
