I investigated this code last year.  There would have been no problem
in getting the code.  The real issue is that it would have required a
large amount of kernel code changes, and we weren't really sure that
it would give us so much more than sa as to make it worthwhile.  Take
a look at sa(8) and see if you disagree.
