> Since it is Linux-specific API, would not be better to add a purposed module linux?

This is an interesting point, but I think that at this particular point it would be more confusing for users than not (normally people go to the os module for system calls) and as Victor mention, we would need to update the os module if some other operative system adds the system call later
