Sure - it might need a little porting, but that's all - it really wants
mmap of anonymous memory, so that the different daemons can share info

?? I don't understand the statement. Oh - you mean that there are some
includes of kernel headers? You can get rid of that, since they're
there to support remote ioctls, and you won't be running those!

Is it necessary? What happens if you type "make enbd-server"? I should
think there would be about ten little edits you'd hae to make in order
to get the make to go all the way through ... if you let me have a
login on the box, I can tell you.
