Since I am planning on writing userfs in order to impliment 'nsd' (and
some other ideas I have hatching too :).  I need to know how filesystem
accesses work.  Can they be queued up, and responded to out of order?

For example... I have a request come in (via the filesystem), that request
is going to take awhile, so I thread off a handler.  Now another filesystem
request comes in, will that be delivered to me, or will that block waiting
for the previous request to be honored first?
