I've looked at the way BONE was designed, and although it may be fast,
it is quite ugly. As (IMHO) one of the least ugly things in kernel
space I've ever seen, it doesn't bode well for ours. Also, BONE had
quite a minimum of extensibility. (There were, if I remember correctly,
only four or so addon layers).
