I just looked at the fs code briefly and don't see anything to handle
O_NONBLOCK for regular files.
In fact... I'm not even sure how easy this would be to add to the kernel as
you would really need a kernel thread for each outstanding request (this is
starting to go in circles).
I was looking into this for sendfile(2), which can have similar constraints
and requirements.
