SubjectRe: [patch 00/11] ANNOUNCE: "Syslets", generic asynchronous system call support

Not sure if a signal is good for this. It might conflict with existing
strange historical semantics.

Ideally there should be a new function like signal_pending() that checks for
this. Then the network fs could check those in their blocking loops
and error out.

Then it would even work on non intr NFS mounts.
