This keeps me puzzled. How then I can tell that file at stdin is already 
at EOF? You mean I should treat stdin like normal vnode-backed file?

   off_t pos = 0, endpos;

   lseek(fileno(stdin), 0, SEEK_END);
   endpos = ftell(stdin);
   lseek(fileno(stdin), 0, SEEK_SET);

... and then later check it with:

       if(endpos != -1) {
         pos += kev.data;
         if(pos >= endpos) {
           printf("end reached\n");
           return(0);
         }
       }

Is this a correct way to detect EOF? I'm letting besides that I should 
also detect vnode changes and update max file size accordingly.

Please excuse me, I'm a bit new to this things...
