Sorry for taking so long time for translation.

I'm currently trying to solve lockdep warning caused by garbage collector's
lazy algorithm. Currently garbage collector waits until /proc/ccs/ interface is
close()d, but that causes lockdep to complain about leaving the kernel with
lock held. I proposed a solution which I'm using for 1.x, but the solution was
not accepted for 2.x. Thus, I'm trying to start garbage collection before
/proc/ccs/ interface is close()d. As of revision 4663, I think I'm approaching
a working solution, but I need to test more.

By the way, I posted a question regarding kernel module and Ubuntu's support
policy. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+question/145601
Although I didn't get an authoritative answer, I got a positive response for
posting bug reports on kernels running with kernel modules which are not
included in Ubuntu's pristine kernel. Therefore, although AKARI is not
authorized by NTT DATA Corporation, I'm thinking that it might worth
referring/introducing/suggesting AKARI at
http://tomoyo.sourceforge.jp/1.8-tmp/chapter-3.html so that we can help those
who are worrying about (or giving up) distributor's support by reading "TOMOYO
Linux requires the installation of a seperate Linux kernel from the one
provided by your distribution" part.

What do you think?
