Hmmm, maybe I'm approaching all of this from the wrong hook then.
Maybe file_permission is what I want.  

So, new questions.  If file_permission gets called for every read/write
call, is there an easy way to detect the very first call?

If I tap file_permission will that cover all ways for a
file/program/library to get loaded or executed?

I guess the hook I really want is a file_open hook, but that seems to
be inode_permission, which does not seem to be the hook I want.  Ack,
I'm confused.
