Slightly off-topic, but whatever happend to the `user-fs' code
from a few years back? In principle, it allowed to user-space
daemon to simulate a filesystem. (Or, in more general terms,
it allowed a user process to extend the kernel file namespace)
Anyhow, what happened to that code? That concept would be really
great for a ``CD Audio FS'' - you just have the kernel go out
to the daemon (that has a cdparanoia core) and such the data
through the daemon.
(And it would be useful for a pletheroa of other situations)
Or can the NFS-userland code be co-opted for this purpose?
