re: Problem with syscall_disestablish() - PR kern/50430



i don't think that filemon(4) is done properly or at the right
layers.  it should hook directly into the vfs layer itself, not
hijack system calls.  it certainly still doesn't work properly
for netbds32 binaries or any other binaries.

your changes are helpful, but it's still very very broken.

I agree that it probably needs to be completely re-written if it were
to be generally useable.  But, given that the only real use-case we
have for it so far is make(1) (and even then, only in "meta-mode"), I
think that the re-write effort far out-weighs the benefits.

Besides, I don't know enough about the vfs layer to get it right!  :)
