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

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.
