This is version 2 of the patch. Address Gregs, Matts and Andis comments.
Retain the word "exact" due to request of Greg. Use "the exact

So you're talking about the kernel side.. I was talking about userspace
perspective on the syscall. It would be rather odd to let a syscall
block other applications involuntarily (and thus achieving synchronous

already been fixed.
