As I mentioned in my previous email, it seems like we ought to be able to do 
just a little reorg, and provide an in-kernel interface that looks pretty 
much identical to the system-call interface, and actually wrapper the 
system-calls around it. Perhaps I'll give this a shot today or tomorrow with 
a couple of the system-calls and send in a patch and see what everyone 
thinks.
