Well, we have to live with these interfaces literally forever,
shortcuts ultimately just cause more problems down the road..

Reall the thinking should be 'I want to make lsof work usefully' not
'I want some random and different hack to let me see something'. And
yes, that is harder. But the IB stack is now at the point where these
small hard things are the sort of work that is needed to get parity
with the other stuff in linux..
