oh, I can add a couple that will help what jlemon wants:
fd <-> kblob  (so you can read from disk directly into your kblob)
userland <-> kblob (so you can read parts of the data into userland)

all of these need to support offsets so you can read/write to any place
in the kblob...

then I think everyone would be happy, no?  (unless they decide that I
can't say anything useful and immediately attack me for saying something)
