Subject: Cool stuff: KQ

A nice set of patches for -current, which allows one to register
events on file modification / delettion / etc...

If the action occurs, the event is triggered and the caller is notified
asynchronously -- no need to poll or stat the file actively.

Very neat security (and file manager) applications in perspective.

Check out the code at:
