     <braunr> right, i really need to read about mig again

+    <braunr> i'm also testing glibc packages on darnassus with a patch that
+      removes the MACH_{SEND,RCV}_INTERRUPT options from mach_msg calls to
+      avoid taking the slow path because of them
+    <braunr> if i got it right, almost every mach_msg call doesn't use any of
+      these options, except for select
+    <braunr> it could slightly improve that, i'm not sure
+    <youpi> but don't we need that to get EINTR ?
+    <braunr> the options are purely userspace
+    <braunr> i'll upload the patch
+    <braunr>
+      http://www.sceen.net/~rbraun/0001-Mask-options-implemented-by-the-userspace-side-of-ma.patch
+    <youpi> ah, ok, you mean userspace already implements what we need

+    <braunr> i couldn't measure any difference with the glibc patch that
+      removes the mach_msg interrupt related flags
+    <braunr> which isn't very surprising as it only concerns select as far as i
+      can tell
