I hope so. And I think it will, eventually, but if it were my kernel I'd
feel a lot better about imon if I didn't have to see a bunch of IMON_EVENT
calls in my fs code. (And even if imon never gets in--if everyone hates the
implementation or something--the idea of kernel notification of file
operations is useful enough that something *just like* imon would go in, and
then fam could just use that.)
