Most of the required changes are already included upstream and need
three kernel config options to be enabled. The decision about this
whole feature depends mainly on the kernel maintainers if they think these
options are ready to be enabled or not. I imported the user-space tools
(crtools) which need those three kernel config options. If it is decided
this is too experimental then the package can easily be retired again.
