There are patches in -mm for revokeat()/frevoke(), which can be used to

over the open files and revoke() them, at which point the system can be
cleanly unmounted.
Sounds promising. Is there any glibc version that implements these
syscalls (googling for 'glibc' and 'frevoke' didn't help)? I'd like to
implement and test this on my Linux box with HAL.
