User activity syscalls (for screen saver)

Kernel architecture questions

    I think it is better to introduce a syscall to begin/end a timespan when the screensaver should be inactive. It requires extra tracking at the kernel side for correct handling of unexpected exits/crashes, but makes it simpler for programs like movie players. For the screensaver, the kernel can return that bit of information as is, or the kernel can return the current timestamp as last-active time during the defined timespan.
