Hi Eddie,

I'm not yet too familiar with the inner working of Click, nor of how it
may integrate with the kernel. Hence my question: do you think that
FromHost is the only thing that prevents a linuxpatchless
infrastructure. Do you believe that all the other parts of Click, for
instance, Timers, Tasks, etc, will just work?
