Precisely the idea was to avoid creating a new address space. Instead of having a new address space, just use the kernel's (knowing that the process will not access what it shouldn't).

Yeah. That's exactly what select(), poll(), and other blocking syscalls do now, and have done since Unix was invented (well, OK, they weren't around then, but read() was, and it did just the same).
