Sorry about the delay, with the merge window and me being sick for a
couple of days I didn't get around to this.

After thinking it over some more, I guess I'm ok with your approach.
The table-driven patch makes me a bit happier, and I guess not very
many people end up ever wanting to do async system calls anyway.

Are there other users outside of Solace? It would be good to get comments..
