I guess my point that given the architecture dependencies already in AFS,
we could argue whether or not a "generic" fileserver exists today.  I
don't see a huge problem with changing the way we do FD management
to a more efficient per-platform system.  And if it's all hidden inside
LWP (since that's what seems to handle FDs today; I don't see any calls to
select() or poll() in the fileserver), does it really matter?
