These changes would definately be applicable to user space as well, and indeed we mention it in our paper. In kernel however they are more important as performance is normally of more concern.
Ideally you should be able to turn on these optimizations by a switch. If any g++ developer is out there I'd be more than happy to explain what we did and they are free to use it.
Some of the overhead in the g++ exception implementation arises from the fact that ease of debugging is considered important. However in kernel space that does not apply.
