(This is an old thread, and lots of posts have expired.  Have we already 
talked about this one?)

I start to think that the Linux-based boards are a completely different 
tribe from the smaller processors, and would need a completely different 
treatment.  With a hardware-centric solution I would never be thinking about 
using SysV IPC to put a firedoor between the GPIO-controlling processes 
(which need root privileges on the Raspberry Pi) and the Internet-facing 
processes.
