That actually makes a ton of sense. One immediate win would be that
klibc can be tuned to the kernel it ships with (the dynamic loader will
pick the correct object), so less #ifdef trees. Another would be to
make klibc the formal kernel interface, which allows us to reimplement
an older interface in terms of the one that supercedes it.
