If you're interested, take a look at the pevent(3) interface,
especially the part about the user-supplied mutex.  This is the
kind of API that would be nice to have in the kernel (mentioned in
a previous thread a month or two ago) because of the automated
handling of race conditions.

Also, IMHO the structs(3) library would be a nice way to pass
data between user <--> kernel (it compiles fine in the kernel).
It could easily replace the ng_parse, sysctl, etc.

The demo web server is the next port to commit ... :-)
