I see, so you want those fds to be closed after exec but still use them
before. Yeah, this is a good use-case. (I proposed this extension quite a
while ago when we started discussing this syscall. Thanks for working
ont this!)

Looks like formatting issues here.

I think that this is ok and that there's no reason to make this anymore
complex unless we somehow really see performance issues which I doubt.

If Al is ok with doing it this way and doesn't see any obvious issues
I'll be taking this for some testing and would come back to ack this and
pick it up.
