Just a thought, maybe this is a good time for The FreeBSD Foundation to 
reach out to The Linux Foundation for lobbying netmap into their main 
line kernel.  It would be nice if netmap becomes the de facto UNIX 
standard for this type of programming (it is vendor neutral and broadly 
applicable vs other solutions), and avoid not-invented-here APIs like 
non-blocking I/O went through with all the UNIX flavors.
