   Option 4 works!  See attached diffs.  Thanks, kre!

This is essentially the same as fd_getfile2, except with a lot more
logic involved, including fiddly details that you have to take care
of.  And...

   I'll commit this in a day or two unless I receive some extremely 
   negative feedback.

...you missed one: you can't touch fp->f_count without holding
fp->f_lock.

So I reiterate my suggestion to use fd_getfile2:

	fd = *((int *)data);
	if ((filemon->fm_fp = fd_getfile2(curproc, fd)) == NULL) {
		error = EBADF;
		break;
	}
