looks good to me. The only complication i can see is if overlapped operations are possible on consoles.
Yes, but the OVERLAPPED flag must be set explicitly by the get_file_info() method of the corresponding server object. console_get_file_info() will simply leave this flag unset if overlapped operations are impossible on consoles.
The idea is that get_file_info() has a more flexible way to communicate the capabilities of a file descriptor; this doesn't imply all fields are completely independent of each other.
