If others see value I will propose an exact interface, taking any
feedback into account.

Such RPCs would provide an opportunity to provide several important types of functionality:

  1. Auditing of file access that otherwise cannot be captured when all
     data resides in the cache manager
  2. An ability to optimize Windows file open/create operations that
     combine permission checks with simultaneous lock acquisition
  3. Delete on close functionality for temporary files
  4. Distributed named pipes

I am sure that there are other reasons that I can come up with if I spend more than five minutes.
