actually, technically the changes could be fairly small (and
backwardly compatible).  the problems are those of naming, overall
desirability, and backwards compatibility of those programs that use
the new syscalls.

unless there are ramifications i'm not aware of, which is quite
likely.

well, overall, it would be actually kind of neat if 9p was reflected right
out to userspace for some of the stuff I do. But boy, that is a change
from open/read/write/close, that's for sure.
