And the AES could also verify pointers passed to it by applications,
instead of accessing invalid memory and crashing down bringing the system
off along.

However, IMHO, the more proper solution would be to develop an AES which
works completely in user context. This would allow (in some future) to
remove the F_OS_SPECIAL flag, which is simply a dangerous idiotism, and
creates a security hole big like the Baltic Sea.
