Exceptions share memory space / privileges with the kernel, so provided there are useful (and somewhat public) structures for it, I'd prefer to do it with some aid from the kernel. If that doesn't exist, there may be a point in doing what m0n0 proposed, since it clearly states who made the call.

I want to virtualize stuff, and execute a process in virtual supervisor mode. Of course it's a hack, like everything else on this platform. Some stuff just can't be implemented in a clean manner, since we lack the functionality in the OS for it :)
