It sounds to me like this would be interesting to have, as long
as it wouldn't be much work to keep it up-to-date now.  I have
a vague notion that this might be very useful for AFS file
servers, for instance.  (although that would require some more
work on the OpenAFS-side of things...)

I haven't had a chance to try this yet, but I might try some
tests with it next weekend.  I could try it on PPC and Sparc64,
in addition to i386.
