    neat stuff. One question: why do we require fdin or fdout to be a pipe?
    Is there any fundamental problem with implementing what Larry's original
    paper described too: straight pagecache -> socket transfers? Without a
    pipe intermediary forced inbetween. It only adds unnecessary overhead.
