doxygen's @file directive maybe could be used here?

I pretty much think that those two system header files are already indirected
included (by misc.h -> os.h or something like that)

For me makes sense to put everything that uses type pid_t inside os/ somehow.
So you would staff things inside os/access.c removing mostly of the references
on this file.

Given those minor changes I pointed, for me the patch is quite in nice shape:
