So, I think I have a submittable patch here, except that the current file stuff won't be able to poll if the connection is using Netbios(). I know I'm extending the current hack, perhaps in a direction you don't want it to go.
Polling is not really needed for normal files anyway. Feel free to submit what you have, it's still useful to have the code, even if it needs to be moved somewhere else later on. And I think most of the name lookup etc. can be done in user space, it's only the file I/O itself that has to be in the kernel IMO.
