    I'll conditionally second it.  However, could one of the audit people
    verify that fd's are actually available at most/all of the points they
    are concerned about, or are there some show-stoppers in there where they
    need the fd but it isn't actually handy at the moment?
    
    If we can just pass the fd where needed at little to no cost, it seems
    a reasonable thing to do.  If however there's significant work needed for
    some syscall, we need to re-think it....
