Are you aware that Linus Torvalds personally corrected him on this very issue 
in 2003, and they replied back and forth to each other for several messages?  
And that KernelTrap covered this thread, which I linked to in the message you 
just replied to?

  http://kerneltrap.org/node/1758

So are you saying he didn't understand the earlier exchange he had with Linus?  
Or that he forgot?  Or that when Linus pointed out the difference between 
userspace and kernel modules in the linked thread (in both his first and 
second replies), he wasn't clear enough?

It's entirely possible I'm wrong here, and if so I'll apologize.  I'd just 
like to understand how first, please.
