I think it would make a natural follow on, in a patches welcome sort of
way.

In this series I think it is important to draw a clear line between the
user mode driver infrastructure and the more general user mode helper
infrastructure.  As it fundamentally makes a difference when you are
skimming through the code trying to find the details you care about.

But that line, which removes the maintenance burden from everyone else
is where this series stops.

I will be reposting shortly to fix the build issue I overlooked.
