What is a session?

If you mean that L4 should support some form of ports, well, then I'd think
that the L4 designer will respectfully disagree :)  Their IPC is truly
minimal, but that is the reason it is so fast.  If you look at my proposal,
you will see that in the most often used RPCs (simple message with no object
handles), we can preserve this maximum performance without loss.

Thanks,
Marcus
