Re: Goals for first release (June/USENIX)
:> * Syscall ihot pluge layer and messaging (true async syscalls), and
:> related upcall and other interfaces, such as placing the syscall
:> compatibility layer into userland.
:>
:> I'm not happy with the current infrastructure. I am going to rework
:> it and use a shared memory segment between userland and the kernel
:> that the messages would be transfered through, allowing us to avoid
:> copyin/copyout. The same rendezvous memory API could be used to
:> augment the directory services IPC syscalls (CAPS calls) to greatly
:> improve their performance as well.

:in my uneducated opinion, this sounds much like kqueue/kevent. right?

kqueue is an event interface, not really a shared memory interface.
