Yes. But it is not easy. Look at code vfs_vnops.c. You can let a user
process open a file and then push the file descriptor into kernel via a
special system call. Search the mailing list archive and you will find
discussions on how to add a new system call.

Hmm, I don't believe so. It was a temporary network glitch (damn flaky
