This looks like the right approach to me, but at least with my
compiler / libc combinations, the test program isn't quite right:
because the file_handle pointer is never dereferenced, gcc doesn't
complain even if it is undefined.

Instead, try this:
int main(void) { struct file_handle fh; open_by_handle_at(0, &fh, 0); }
I'd really like to see a patch along these lines merged, so I don't
have to keep hacking it up manually just to get qemu to compile.
