* Add a futex kernel trap to GNU Mach. This can be useful for nicer locking
primitives, including inter-process primitives. `vm_allocate` can be used as an
example in the `gnumach` source tree for how to add a kernel trap. [[!GNU_Savannah_task 6231]]
-* Add a `task_set_name` RPC to GNU Mach. Currently the Mach
-debugger keeps `arg[0]` from the stack with ugly heuristics (see
-`gnumach/i386/i386/db_interface.c`, `looks_like_command`...). It would be
-far better to let `exec` simply set the name and record it in `task_t`.
-`thread_create` can be used as an example in the `gnumach` source tree for how
-to add an RPC. glibc needs to be recompiled against the updated mach.defs to get
-access to it from userland. exec would probably call it from `hurd/exec/exec.c`,
-`do_exec()`.
* Add NX protection support to GNU Mach.
* Write a partfs translator, to which one gives a disk image, and
which exposes the partitions of the disk image, using parted, and
