Ah, sorry I'm wrong.  I apologize.  I won't intrude further.  I spoke up 
because selectively choosing to read sections of kernel memory is one thing, 
obtaining useful information from an arbitrary block of kernel memory you don't 
get to choose is quite another.
But their are several people here I respect very much and if they say I'm wrong 
about an area they focus on,... me bad.

The technique has already been proven by multiple independent parties to
work quite well, allowing an attacker to read kernel memory at speeds of
up to 500 kB/s.  But I guess you know better...
