Yes, that works for me.

Ah, ok.  Do you think we should add the shm and POSIX locking stuff before
resolving io_close (assuming their implementation is fine otherwise)?  I am
not sure how much work it is to make glibc able to generate a good
interruptible stub for io_close under the semantics we gave it.
