Right now I'd say that the main blockages for reiser4 are a) the developers
aren't presently asking for inclusion (afaik) and b) lack of

Our you could think outside the circle:
Store all your small files as symlinks, then use symlink to create
them and readlink to read them. (You would probably end up use
symlinkat and readlinkat).
Only one system call instead of three.
I guess you don't get meaningful

Now, to be fair, there are probably a number of cases where
open/lseek/readv/close and open/lseek/writev/close would be worth doing
as a single system call. The big problem as far as I can see involves
EINTR handling; such a system call has serious restartability

Heh. sys_read_tree() -- walk a directory tree and return it as a data
structure in memory :)
But maybe you don't want every single file in the directory, but some
subset of the files in the directory tree. So before you know it:
