Oh all right!  (I was wondering whether anyone would notice that...)

Keep in mind that the imon code is GPL'd--although I've watched "Ally MacBeal"
enough times to consider myself well-versed in legal issues, I missed the
episode where they talked about whether you had to make your kernel available
under the GPL in order to link with a kernel module containing/derived from
GPL'd code.

Hey, one thing which has been suggested (but which I haven't looked at much
yet) is using wrapfs for imon.  The advantage there is that your work for
Solaris should be applicable to Linux as well.  It sounds like you can
replace individual files' i_op, f_op etc. rather than having to hit the hash
table on every file operation.  I added a note about this at
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/news.html.
