I only tried on a set of files where the frame info shouldn't have
mattered, but I definitely didn't pay enough attention nor did I have
enough knowledge of the internals to get it right. I would guess that
Linux kernel hackers can probably point out the maintainence issues
and various gotchas to look out for, but without that, I doubt if it's 
worth the hassle.
