This sounds okay. Now the question is do we want this /dev/usema thing
to be a device driver (this means I have to contribute a gross hack to
get things working now, then to wait fro devvp merge to make things
nicer), or in the /kern filesystem (this meanss COMPAT_IRIX will require
the /kern filesystem).

Any opinion?
