- Me bleats that O_NONBLOCK should work on regular files for open(2),
read(2), and write(2)

I suggest a dynamically sizing set of kernel threads for this because
I'm too lazy to do it in userspace and have had trouble making it work
right before

- Alan says, it belongs in user space, and rightly it does, only I can't
make it work right

- I suggestion someone (you) has already done something along these line
for glibc2, which I guess must be wrong....
