Log:
Add another work area discussed in the past. Also, things are
starting to get potentially overcommitted here; add an
opportunity to check sanity by letting people sign up for
different pieces. Items with lots of votes but no volunteers
should maybe be struck from the plan, or moved to 'nice-to-have'
status.

+ (In this model there are functions like readbuf() which return a
pointer to a buffer, rather than taking a pointer to a buffer. This
is a lot like how kernels actually work. The advantage is that you
can get zero-copy in the user space, which is a big win for caching
modules of all sorts. You can also support the "traditional" slow
style of stdio, which adds an extra user space copy.)
