	Looks pretty cool David!  Thanks!

	Also, you might wanna look at a Linux related PR from the
	FreeBSD GNATS database.  It adds three new linux emulated
	syscalls, but because it uses the stackgap() stuff, I thought
	I would pass it on to you, if you don't mind 8-) :

	a] http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/55835
	
	   This PR is for addressing the issue with the SETALL
	   Linux system call.

	b] http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/45785

	   This PR adds two/three new Linux system calls, IIRC,
	   it is linux_mmap2(), linux_ftruncat64() and
	   linux_truncat64().

	Regards,
