om-2.6 patch for kcomd (pre-alpha)

Hi all,

   In the continuing efforts of a non-programmer to contribute to the
project, here's my second installation of kcomd patches.

  Here's another patch for kcomd at
http://www.osource.org/openmosix/om-26.php.

Vanilla kernel patch:
http://www.osource.org/openmosix/patches/om-2.6-full-20060727.patch.bz2

Patch against git:
http://www.osource.org/openmosix/patches/om-2.6-git-20060727.patch.bz2


Simple processes now migrate.  A simple process is a process that is CPU
only and has no system calls.  No file I/O, time stamping, forking, etc.
A simple loop program will migrate, as an example.

To migrate a process home, you must issue the migration on the remote
node.  IOW,  'echo home > /proc/<pid>/om/where' on the remote node.
Issuing that command on the home node will not work.

kcomd must still be built as a module.

Please look at and try out the patch and give me some feedback.   The
code is very verbose and you'll get lots in your syslog.

Matt
