Well it looks like you and Art are both doing your own thing...
But same question goes to you:
"The lock will be removed only when that section of code has been audited."
Does this mean any part of the code during the audit found to be dirty 
need to be rewritten before it is unlocked?  And if so, how long before 
you think the kernel will be unlocked?
