the application :) As pointed out on another forum, it's probably
because of the fact that XaAES, as a kernel module, runs in supervisor
and therefore is not preempted until finished with the
VDI/AES/whatever task.

AFAIK XaAES switches to user-mode and the trap-code runs on behalf of the client not the kernel. How should multiple evnt_multi-calls work if they would not allow preemption?
