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...
