Hi Kees,
Sorry for the late reply. I am having some problems with arranging a lot of
mails from the list.

Well, I don't have any preference as such. I am open to any work that is
related to security. I have just graduated from the college. I have
background in Crypto, Reverse engg. and exploit development. But if you
need a specific topic, I would say I want to add some features from
grsecurity to main linux kernel.

I have a good familiarity with x86,x86-64 but I also know arm. Although,
its not a problem if there is a need, I will read about it.

All of these sounds interesting to me. Although I didn't fully understand
some of the TODO items but few of these which I think I would like to work :
- Move kernel stack to vmap area
- Split thread_info off of kernel stack
- Convert remaining BPF JITs to eBPF JIT (with blinding)
- Write lib/test_bpf.c tests for eBPF constant blinding
But, I can work on other things also, whatever you think is appropriate. I
would prefer working on challenging project though.
Hoping for a quick reply. I want to start working as soon as possible.
