  I have to admit I don't understand the details here. Lars just told me
to implement it, so I did ;). From what Lars told me, I understood
there are problems with supporting some kind of cluster stack and solving
them requires non-trivial changes to kernel-userspace interface and that's
going to take time. Therefore I've implemented this option as a temporary
band aid for admins.
  I've CC'd Lars so he might give you more facts :)
