[PATCH] Process Events Connector
This patch adds a connector that reports fork, exec, id change, and exit
events for all processes to userspace. It replaces the fork_advisor patch
that ELSA is currently using. Applications that may find these events
useful include accounting/auditing (e.g. ELSA), system activity monitoring
(e.g. top), security, and resource management (e.g. CKRM).

Connector support can also be built as a module. If so, the module
will be called cn.ko.
