    That's a quite reasonable request, but I'm really surprised by it at
    this point. The proposed ABI is one very straightforward extension to
    one existing system call, plus four others that you personally suggested.

    They haven't *changed* since last November:

    I see you added Mel and Hugh to the cc. Is that who you'd like to see
    review it? Is there anyone else? I'd expect Mel and Hugh's review time
    to be highly contended, and I'd rather not gate these on them.

    If it helps anyone review these more easily, I've html-ized the affected
    manpages and published them:
