* @warning This ptrace implementation is incomplete.

* We are missing a lot of @c ptrace functionality found in other
* operating systems, and even some of the functionality we have is
* only partially implemented or may not work as it should.
*
* This implementation was intended primarily to support having a
* @c strace command in userspace, and also provides some limited
* support for a debugger.
