I'm writing a small door server, which passes some structured data back and forth between the client and the door server. Unless I'm mistaken (very possible), you can either pass fds between the client & server, or a chunk of memory. It seems like using a packed nvlist would (at initial glance at least) be a very good fit (and simpler) for passing the data back and forth instead of trying to manually pack the data myself or try to send the data over an fd.
Since I've not messed with door servers (or nvlists, though they look very handy) before, I was wondering if there are any downsides I should be aware of?
