Certainly a valid idea to consider - doing all those things in userspace... so
thanks for the hint!

But wouldn't that introduce a significant overhead and undermine all of the
nice advantages the kernel might have in scheduling I/O operations?

However, I shall really consider and profile the mprotect/sighandler approach...

PS: I'm using my own allocator already, so using the C-library implementation
     wouldn't gain me much...
