I'd rather you look at the actual libc dependencies in the _user files and
add interfaces to os that let those dependencies be moved.  Then merge the
remaining code (which should be independent of both libc and kernel) into
the corresponding _kern files.  I want as little as possible under os.

Yeah, when I get the cow driver working, it makes sense for it to be modular.
