Or use either the Fuse or Coda kernel modules and handle such requests
in userspace. With FUSE you should even be able to block on a per-page
granularity, Coda only has session semantics so it will only notify
userspace of the open and close events, while read and write and mmap
are passed directly to the underlying file.
