Yes.  It needs quite a review to make sure that there's absolutely no
possibility for userspace to be able to generate malicious ARM code
and then have it executed.  Or put it another way: security paranoia.

I'm afraid that I've not been able to look at it at all yet, and I
haven't seen anyone looking at the code from that aspect.
