Yes, clients use open *once* when the new client

So if there are N clients, each of them needs N file descriptors open
all the time. System wide the complexity grows as N^2. Not really a
good way to tackle an O(N) problem IMHO.

This means that changing the graph order can never
be a RT operation,
unless clients get a second, non-RT thread to perform this call from.
There is no need to open the synchronization primitive at graph re-
order time. Since a given client can access all synchronization
primitive, when the graph order changes, then the client will
possibly have to notify another primitive.
