Really? Please check out this thread with at least two ideas of possible 
implementations, with Stefan Richter as the spokesman of the current 
implementation: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=116870578531280&w=3
...and I am not saying there hasn't been someone suggesting it even earlier.

The expression; nothing is new under the sun comes to mind ;)

Anyway, glad to see someone actually implementing it. Thanks!
